Yes, I hope it does get better ... I'm not waiting around for it though. I've seen no encouraging signs but I'm keeping a lamp lit in the window. As you suggest, hoping and expecting can be entirely different. The confused priorities, incompetency, and corruption of our system can be understood best by identifying the degree of politicalization of social issues that have bushwhacked rational discourse. Unfortunately, that is the "winning" strategy. It will only change when it becomes a "losing" strategy. Nor is it limited to social issues. I just listened to McCain the other day, there's his view on Iraq and then there's the cut and run people that disagree with him. You can take any issue that faces the government and right down the line, they are all politicized. The American people at large don't have the patience or interest in rational discourse. Give them 3-4 words that sums it up. That's all they want and the government and political parties are more than happy to oblige. jttmab
