Quote of the day--on The United States of America

"...the present election offers us a choice: not a choice among those who call themselves Republicans, Democrats, or Tea Partiers, but a choice between sustaining the paralyzing divisiveness that we have seen over the past two years and committing ourselves to co-operation, collaboration, and--yes--political compromise across ideological lines. Without such a commitment, I fear for the survival of these dis-United States. "  --James Herrenan

Quote of the day--on government and lessons we could learn

--James Herrenan, The Huffington Post, "How a Government Takeover Saved 33 Lives"
