It's a Paul World

if you view the political spectrum as a yardstick, the democrats are at 17 3/4 inches while the republicans are at 18 1/4 inch. in that short half-inch range they look different, but when you look at the full spectrum they are virtually identical. each party makes a lot of noise touting how different they are but really when you get into it they are almost the same. and the same old thing is not going to serve us well going into the future. there are solutions to our problems that are proven to work and be cost effective but, because of politics as usual, these solutions never see the light of day. they will upset the applecart of those who stand to benefit from keeping the problem intact.
