people on both sides are spoiling for a fight here and we ought to think very carefully about what actually happened find out who may be guilty of what offenses best to get them and punish them accordingly before we leap to a conclusion as to what may have happened. amidst the violence in virginia many continue to blame it on deep divisions within american society an increasingly polarized politics. spitta by you and i do we stand divided people but i've got to get out of it i try to respect people that are. democrats. one of the reasons i won the election is very very divided nation.
