But Dave,

This is my first Presidential election since becoming a citizen. All I see is conjecture and opinion based around unreconcilable "facts" by intellectuals with a grudge.

I still can't get my head around this all consuming hatred for the "other" party. It just has to go. This type of discourse (which is worse than the average jr high nonsense) just isn't interesting anymore.

Simon

I have been filtering the email from both sides to pick ones that add value to seeing how badly this nation is divided over the election. The only way to even attempt to heal the wounds are to understand why they exist.

Saying "all is now well" will not work. We have to understand each others positions and concerns.

Again, the purpose of IP is to make inform the readers and the editor and to make them think about the issues -- both technical and policy.
