We are Eating Our Young!

Oh How I long For "The Good Old Days" of "SwiftBoating."

I first voted in a Presidential election in 1972. Even before that I was involved in political causes. Never have I seen the likes of this primary. The right wing attacks on the Dems in the 90's were bad enough, but what has happened in this cycle is just incredible.

Vitriol. Hatred. Slander. Lies. Name Calling.

Okay, those are part of the political process and have been with us since the first caveman was elected head of the tribe. But this new medium called the internet has given us a tool of mass destruction. Remember the old sci-fi movies, where at the end, the hero says to the mad scientist villain, "If only you had used your genius for good instead of evil."

That is why this we must do our best to keep it as clean as possible.

Remember, we are all "mad scientist", and we are your colleagues.

To everyone who contributes here and elsewhere to get the word out in a reasoned, well researched, articulate manner, I honor and appreciate you.
