I have resigned myself to the fact that I believe the United States' greatest threat is not what is out there trying to get in, but what is already here and has been for a very long time. It has nothing to do with bombs, guns or foreign terrorists - it's intolerance for one another's ideas and views. The divisiveness is palatable. The displays of hatred are numbing. This country is on a course of implosion if we don't stop harping on our differences instead of focusing on the ideals we agree on. The fear mongering and power grabbing is taking so much away from us. I don't know how I'm going to vote in this next election. I do know there are people that I surely don't want in power, but what a statement of our times to think the only choice is the lesser of the two evils. I used to get excited about voting.
