Still more politics: Mitch Albom's column

His ending is a bit glib. How do we bridge (and I mean BRIDGE, because I don't see any way clear to wholesale conversions or shifts) the gap between these (admittedly stereotyped) views? Are the people who believe things from both sides of the aisle the ones to make the difference? I don't know, and Mitch doesn't seem to either.

The whole thing was glib. It's not that he was offering a solution, he was offering a clearer view of ourselves. Which, on the whole, solves nothing. But what he says is true, and humorous, and sad.
