I like the result of your informal study. I believe that we have more in common with one another than the petty things that divide us. I don't believe we are being served by our government. Our political representatives are loyal to party first, with way too much focus on getting elected for the next term. Painting the opposition as monsters is a ploy to inflame their own party—fear works. Average people are not represented at all. I also believe many of our problems could be solved with the old fashioned notion of "Mind your own Business." Beyond that we need to work to make the US the best place the raise a family and all that entails, especially a great educations and hope for an affordable future. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. You made my morning!
