Wax, are you in the “let’s all secede from each other” camp, or do you


Hope to see us emerge from this era of bitter hyper-partisanship as an intact country? I know for sure that I am for the latter. There is no country if we stop acknowledging that we can disagree while still beholden to our founding concepts. There is nothing holding us together as a country but that.

Polls are problematic, but still, I saw one this weekend that suggests that 53% of repubs and 41% of dems want a blue-red secession. That is off the wall crazy. I don’t know how anybody thinks that line would be drawn. There are no pure red and blue states. The reddest are still at least 30% blue. How can that many of us believe in something so impossible?

We are going to have to figure out how to be more civil towards each other. Or things like climate change and corporate tax rates will be the least of our worries.
