Sorry if it looks like I am highjacking the thread, just wanted to make the point that this divisive and unyieldingly partisan way of looking at every issue is bringing this country down.

WOW....I just checked the moon phases to determine if we are in a full moon or something.
Those who did not participate in the political forum may not understand but to have Coach, Buggy and I pretty much on the same wave length is certainly an event of major proportions..
I also, until the verdict stayed away (and frankly quietly seethed) at the political interference from the beginnings and then
watched post after post be simply a political message and completely unrelated to law and order (apologies to the TV series)
You are correct...so many, on everything that happens tune in or read what political position they are supposed to take and then ignore all facts that could make them waver.
I wonder how some can even decide anything without their favorite cable news network telling them how to feel. Everything is not political
