i love molly ivins. not because the bushists hate her so & have her on the "why do they hate america" list- well not JUST because of that. i have always found her to be good natured & funny & thoughtful. i have no doubts about her love of country, she even seems to like texas. (which is hard for me to understand.
this column nails something i think needs to be given more consideration & needs to be worked on.
"how about, instead of a contract with america, we see if we can get some agreement on what kind of country we would like to see america become?"
the tactics & games of politics are fun. we should also have an idea what the finished product should look like. what kind of country we hope our children will live in.
