I thought Karen’s reflections thoughtful, insightful and compassionate.
As and Independent voter, I am worn out by the endless political divisiveness between liberal and conservative. Rarely is life that simple, that black and white. Yes, government needs to stop overspending and wasting money and town and county employees need to be more accountable and responsive to the citizens they are supposed to serve. Government everywhere has become arrogant and yet as a community, we should always be concerned with people and animals, especially the vulnerable ones.
I vote that we stop with the politics, the one issue rhetoric and the divisiveness and work together. Everyone has a contribution and a point of view, this is the “mess of democracy”. Democracy, like Christianity, has always been an argument based on respectful, informed debate. Solutions are never easy, people are always more important than money, and free speech is a bitch.
