The Happy Tutor has said what I feel about the current political scene and the purpose of coming together.

Flying back home, seeing the lands roll underneath, I wondered how our politicians can be so cruel, crisscrossing this country, shaking hands, and giving speeches; how they can be so intransigent to take so much good in this country, and turn it sour. So many in our country are trying to heal the old wounds, even as our leaders drive wedges among us, and flood the airwaves with falsehood and life-denying fictions, whether those of political ads, faked-up news, or marketing. We as a people deserve better, face to face or over the net, we can come together, let's hope and strive for it, to make our country ours again, a good and noble-aspiring land. It was encouraging, even exhilarating, to see how eager people are to talk giving, even with a Damn Yankee and his Harvard educated bow tie bedizened consort. Yes, I did lie to my hosts, when they asked me over and over, and said we were Unitatarians, but that was as close as I dared come to telling the truth, that we are NeoChristian pagans in the neoclassical tradition of Dean Swift. Seemed quicker as an answer than teaching a lesson from the Norton Anthology. We may not all worship our God in the same way, but the holy spirit moved among us.
