The Villages is not unique in the division that pops up. The whole country is divided. Division was already there but it was below the surface. Now it is out in the open and not likely to get better anytime soon. It started years ago, with the aftermath of the Viet Nam war, Roe v. Wade, the Bork case, etc. Now we are at the point of an election that is seen as critical to the direction of the nation. On one side is hatred; on the other, fear -- a combustible mixture. If you think the riots we have seen in the news were bad, wait till the ones coming Nov. 3 and thereafter.
P.S. Generally speaking, the folks here are polite, considerate, helpful and friendly -- unlike some other places I will not bother to mention. Suggesting there are better, friendlier places to live is like looking for the Fountain of Youth or the Lost City of Atlantis -- relax and enjoy where you are. This is a great community!
