The "dynamic and dramatic changes" that have captivated the attention of many in a way that many of us haven't seen since the late 60s/early 70s has created opportunity. We can take every opportunity to unleash torrents of hate and vitriol directed at those with whom we may disagree. Or we can take the opportunity to tap into our 'better angels' and use our energies to encourage and promote a change of leadership and a change of direction. Where are those who still believe in the 'shining city on a hill'? Where are those who believe in the values on which America was founded? Where are those who are willing to set politics aside and to work toward a framework that will increase the hope and quality of life for the next generation? As you wrote, to do that requires us to use our passion and rational thinking skills to redesign the direction this country is headed. This debate should be less about turning left or right. Let's beat our challenges into opportunities that will move our focus onward and upward. Let's work hard to make our country an even better place than those who worked so hard before us have left to us. The last paragraph of your commentary is insightful.
