Maybe I have rose colored glasses, but perhaps heroism and truth can return. Declan you know your history, sometimes dark ages give rise to revulsion then something new and better breaks out. TxChic I agree our two party system is broken and corrupt. Maybe its an opportunity. But I'm just speculating.
The flags are at half mast now in Texas due to the death of Lloyd Bentsen (ran for VP in 1988). No saint, but he had many qualities of a true statesmen who understood the ideal serving the public interest...something that you don't see much anymore. People forget that Texas has a long history of progressive politicians.
warm regards, Jake
