As the political rhetoric heats up in Congress, many of its member are tossing about scapegoats in the name of problem solving.
They are telling us that immigrants, teachers, scientists, environmentalists, unionists, regulators and, of course, the "other guy's" political and religious beliefs are the cause of our problems.
Seems to me we need to decide who we really are and who we really want to be. We need to ask ourselves and those who represent us some hard questions about where we are headed. I don't think that relying on irrational hostility toward others can lead us to a sustainable future. It will only lead us to lose our once sure footing going over a cliff we are unable to climb.
Scapegoats offer enticing, easy solutions for our problems. It will take the hard work of all of us to assure plans for the future are consistent with our views of justice and equity least our Representatives take our country in a detour from where we ought to go.
