more importantly, how do we get the politicians, and the voters, to focus on the important issues that affect the entire country, like the economy, instead of lesser issues that are actually more distractions than issues?
Our nations strength is highly dependent on a healthy economy, much more so than correcting a bunch of perceived inequalities or injustices.
We are becoming a fragmented society, and we have forgotten that "we the people" means all of us, not just those we might agree with, or identify with.
Lesser issues should go on the back burner until we get the economy healthy again. Personally, I don't care about the so-called morality issues, those are even more back burner than the rest. If God wants to send us to hell for those things, so be it. That is HIS jurisdiction, and government should stay out of it.
I agree problems need to be prioritized and the one issue at the very top above all others right now is the economy.
The other issues are becoming distractions like a squirrel is to a dog--it takes all focus off the higher priority stuff, at least temporarily. Although I am sure that is by to design sometimes.
