Regarding the elections, the campaigns between Obama and Clinton have gotten progressively "dirtier". Both have let go of some of their top campaign aids and supporters because there has been an exchange of racial comments. One of Clinton's advisors even went as far to say that Obama has only gotten this far because he is black. Honestly this is quite ridiculous that possibly the future president of the United States has people saying these things. People are now saying that because of these comments going back and forth the Democratic party is separating instead of becoming more united. Would our country's founding fathers want this? Should our country watch as campaigns go back and forth insulting other candidates? Over the years this si what elections have fallen to and in the future they will probably only get worse and more violent.

Dear Justice,
Your post makes you sound like a crotchety old grandpa! C'mon -- do you really think campaigns back in the 1800s were any better? I think we tend to idealize the past. For example, when Jefferson was running for president, the public was told that rape and murder would be openly taught to children!
Fine thoughts, regardless. Your post might be improved by a specific mention of Geraldine Ferraro OR a link to a video you thought was particularly offensive.
