Reply #24: I think we can't ignore the division in our country... [View All]

and part of the reason I think this is the distress I hear from friends who live in what some call Red States -- where going out to dinner is often ruined by conversation at neighboring tables, and they feel isolated, and unable to express feelings freely. I think the issue of the economic power of what some call Blue States, and their maligning as unAmerican, should also not be ignored. Still, I salute the spirit of your post, and agree that we ARE all Americans, latte-drinkers included.
