Craig, I'll try once more to explain your problem to you. No matter how condescending this sounds, I think your dissatisfaction with the state of the world is misplaced. You see half the problem: that things aren't what they were and that they're getting worse by the minute. What you don't see is that the decline is a direct consequence of how it was for far too long. Our problems weren't invented by progressives. We all did it to ourselves. You don't want to see anything change, but change keeps happening anyway. Denying it only makes it worse. Either we learn to manage it and figure out ways to adapt to it, or it will ultimately do without us. No politician or party will solve it all. The one clear lesson is that we must find some way to bring all our talents to bear on the issues. Magical thinking and the politics of division won't work. PS: I know this sounds pompous, and I apologize for the tone.
