Are you talking about abortion? Just kidding!

This is a little hyperbolic, I think. The founders had amazingly great intentions, but my point was that they were human (partisan), too. The intensity of that partisanship has undoubtedly evolved stronger since then, which is a shame, but what I was trying to say was that the seed had been planted, even that early.

I'm no fan of what's going on either, but I don't know how it's going to get fixed. With various media outlets salivating at the mouth for the most sensational story, I'm afraid politics without the drama would be seen as too boring to report.
