Most Of Us Are In The Middle Of This Catfight.

Stuck Between Two Parties. First, a warning. Bridget Phetasy (my new heroine) doesn't mince words when she discusses what we "normals" feel about the current division in our country. She liberally uses the F*** word; so, if that offends you, don't read her article. Second, I share her view that most of us feel like a kid in the back seat listening to a screaming argument between our parents in the front seat. We are terrified, and upset, and unsettled. But, after a while we are just angry. Why can't they just get along? The answer, it appears, is that someone is making a lot of money, and it isn't the rest of us. We don't have a banner bearer. Richard Nixon called us the "silent majority". So, we keep silent, and hope that the angry voices on both sides of the issues don't see us and go on the attack. I have often described myself as apolitical. I still am. But, now I am angry. Let's not be silent any longer.
