Thinning the Animosity

In Mississippi, lawmakers are working out together to try and lose weight and set a good example for their constituents. Here's the NPR news story. Isn't that an awesome idea? Not only for the stated reasons, but also because working out together creates a bond.

I don't claim to understand all the reasons for the enormous partisan divide we are experiencing, but I do think that part of the problem is that we all hang with people who think just like we do. Wouldn't it be a lot harder for Senators and Congress people to villainize each other if they were all working toward a common goal and sweating to the oldies together? Washington could use some of what Mississippi has... I wanna see Kerri high-fiving McCain for doing the grapevine without falling over. Wouldn't that be fantastic?

Folks should definitely keep trying to get back to doing things together instead of trying to scare the bejeebus out of each other.

You are excatly right. Too many hang out with like minded people because it makes life easier when they don't think for themselves. Great idea. Cheers Marilyn!!

Travis: I wish there was a way to make the fear mongering a political liability.

Matt: Thinking is sooo hard though.
