re:Plus the liberal/neocon split has gotten deeper.......leading to even more flaming I'm not sure the divide is any deeper than before - we still have two sides to everything - but the dialog (if you can all it that) has sure gotten nastier. It reminds me of watching the Israelis and Palestinians talk - they so distrust each other they never go anywhere - they just start rattling off wrongs against them by the other side. We've had one President after another try to be an honest broker - Clinton seemed to be so close to getting the job done at one point - and then it just fell apart. - late addition, you're right deeper is the right word, I was thinking wider. Perhaps it's due to the special interests dedicated to promoting a position day in day out. It used to be more about what the people wanted. Yes, and what's also worrisome is when you make the comparison to the Israelis and the Palestinians. A few weeks ago I was watching some people going at each other over a religious issue and I thought the same thing. Change the language and the dress and you would think it was the Israelis and the Palestinians. I have never felt so strongly partisan in my entire life.
