Well, that I agree with. Like I said, politics. It is much nastier than it used to be...or it seems that way.
PS: clue me in on what the ****** word was!

Politics ebbs and flows in terms of "nasty"- though interestingly enough, there is a correlation between levels of economic divide and the vitriol spewed during campaigns-- the bigger the divide between rich and poor, the uglier the campaigns. So yes, it's nastier now than it was in the 1950's, but not any nastier than in the late 1800's.
Interesting discussion, as always, my friends. I'm off for the rest of the night. Have lovely evenings!
