Reply #151: Okay, I did not live in D.C during the Clinton era... [View All]

-- or at any other time in my life, as a matter of fact. You had a ringside seat to the fight and I did not, and if you tell me there is more buffoonery on display on the National Mall now than in the 1990s, I believe you.

...But I do NOT believe that "The waters have been poisoned today more than they ever were in the past." Sorry but intuitively, that just makes no sense to me. Barack Obama could not have been elected 70 years ago... 40 years ago... or even, arguably, 20 years ago. The country just wasn't ready until now. We hadn't evolved enough. Are we FULLY evolved in 2010? Of course not. But to say the waters are poisoned "more than they ever were in the past"... well, I must respectfully disgree.
