As a daily reader I have been entertained by all the commentary, snide comments and the snark.
I could do without the anger and personal attacks, but they also have a place
I have enjoyed all the various diaries and comments about this primary race.
We have analyzed every aspect of it to the "beating a dead horse" stage.
We are the progressive wing of the Democratic party and we have been totally distracted by this spectacle. ENOUGH! Please lets get back to work.
In conflict management there are 3 types of conflict. "where are we going"
"How are we going to get there" and "how am I going to feel when I get there". the first 2 can be resolved by compromise and finding common ground.
The third is like the abortion issue, generally not resolvable because of deeply held beliefs. We have alot of the 3rd type of conflict here on this site. Just back away from this situation. There is no common sense approach to resolving this conflict, it is not completely rational. Back away and let the feelings subside on their own.
Get back to work. We still have soldiers dying in Iraq and too many people go to bed hungry. Resist all impulses to continue this argument. People will go back to what they are passionate about and we can start again working on electing more and better Democrats.
Thank you all for your involvement on this site. You keep me sane and give me ideas on how to make my part of the world bluer.
