Polarization- Please Remember Gabby Giffords
Everyone is stressed because of the polarization in this country. And yes, people on both sides of the divide believe that their way is the ONLY way to solve everyone's problems. However, without some way to compromise we may have more Gabby Giffords in the next few years being shot. People need to think of what happened to her and to tone down their rhetoric. It is useful to have a point of view but remember the whole point of Democracy is to have political revolutions through voting rather than through bloodshed like it is done over most of earth. So, if any of our speech gets too polarized we might incite others with psychological problems or boundary problems and people may die. So please think about preventing more deaths this Presidential Season. Rationality is lacking. I think anyone can see it. And when rationality and compromise don't exist, violence could be around the corner. One Gabby Gifford incident was enough. There has got to be some way of protecting all candidates being elected to all offices in the land. The way is for each of us to think about the consequences of what we are saying all the time. Without responsible talk likely there will only be more violence in the process of the next election cycle. Think about it!
