"Political polarization in America is like no other time since the Civil War. Liberals are called communists or socialists. Conservatives are called fascists."

In my previous post I made the above observation. I have seen nothing that disturbs what I portrayed, one only needs to read the comments on this blog.

Musings, as I like to call them, are observations based on the facts of life that I bump into everyday. The price of gas is on the rise, it doesn't snow where I live anymore, food prices are way up, and the list goes on.

I read about this, since I live in the mountains and television is an infrequent entertainment. One could argue that the writers in my library are biased, yet, I can make the very same argument about writers in the comment column. Do I trust any opinion? If I should read something then find supporting evidence, I would believe that person. And that brings me back to the quote that began this little diatribe.

I have little doubt humans will survive 2012. The date is a mere distraction as well as an astronomical event of importance. Having said that, none of the aforementioned problems will go away. We will still have to deal with them.

Back to the polarized political environment: There are many out there who display a testiness in opposition opinions, I find that these individuals have a great desire to persuade others to abandon ideas and subscribe to their notions while rarely offering solutions to the extent of denying that any problem exists. And finally, when a problem does arise, these people are nowhere to be found.

Is the sky falling? No, it is merely evaporating.

For those remarks of support, thank you!
