the sad state of current affairs

politics, politics, and murder. That is the headline material that I see on a daily basis. That becomes and has become the daily norm in our society. Negativity. As an interested American I want to know when the ceremony to welcome our troops home occurs. Show the good they did in their 18 month deployment. but I don't see that angle. politics has become our divisive force. The current voices in our wonderful democracy have become jaded in their political viewpoints. Show a viewpoint that is openminded and willing to see both sides of every situation. Negativity rears it's ugly head in any and every political forum. I want to see the positivity of what America does and what we can do. No more political gain for the right to hang on to the seat that they hold. America wants, and needs, true politicians. Those that care about us, and want to satisfy us and not be concerned about 2 or6 years from now. Politics is emotional, but it shouldn't be. Politics is divisive, but it shouldn't be. What is it that makes us the greatest democracy and country in the world? Our ability to bitch and argue about issues, and to have the ability to decide every 2 years. Vote the way you feel and not by a political agenda.
