Politcal Rant - 2 (or maybe 3, or maybe more...)

I'm tired of Donald Trump. I'm sick of divesive politics. And we, as Americans, are part of this problem. Donald Trump has a platform because we have become his audience - even if we disagree with his views if we give him our attention we not only increase his range of divesivness but we directly become part of this growing problem. What we lend our energy to grows whether it is what we wan't more of or less - the media isn't the source of these issues it's a symptom and treating the symptom will not eliminate the source. Even discussing this on this blog lends just that much more energy towards an issue I wish to see dissapear - so I will keep this brief.
I don't care if you support President Obama or not, I don't care if you believe that Mitt Romney is the seond coming of Ronald Reagan. It's just politics after all - here's what I do care about - beneath the politics and the endless media (over) exposure of all things divesive and political - there are real issues that need to be addressed, real people that need help and comfort and real problems that need to be fixed. We won't do it alone - but only in a community. Lets lend our attention and energy towards a joining together to form such a community. One that allows for differences yet recognizes the whole.

Peace,
Eric
