Seen yesterday over at Polimom:
I don’t think you have to agree with Polimom’s politics to support this statement:
“To the Congress of the United States: As We the People vote today we are asking you to do your part and end the blame-game politics…

I’d like it even more, though, if the culture from which it sprang could use it.

Agreed. Though I think the operative is “would use it” rather than “could use it”. I’m sure that if all the parties put their mind to it, they could do whatever it took - but it takes a certain amount of will to translate that to a positive action.

BTW — I should have mentioned that the petition above was put together by some high school students. I gather they’re kinda wishing the grown-ups would fix at least some of their own mess (smile…)

Maybe we need to take a lesson from the very people we seek to convert to our way of government, and see if we can persuade an imam to help us implement a hudna - not only in Washington, but throughout the country - Red State and Blue State alike, both on the coasts and in “flyover country”.

Somehow, I don’t think it will fly - but maybe such a “contract with America” would have a chance of success.
