I see little or no 'bringing us together' for at least 15 years. There are the dems and there are the reps. There is seldom, I guess the first 72 hours after 9/11 being the exception, just us citizens.
Fear? I really sense little fear among people of any political persuasion. We fly, complain yes, but fly. We go to work, the movies, we write on messageboards and blogs. We play with our kids and care for our parents.
Yet, we are so different? That we cannot tolerate dems or republicans?
