How to stay sane in an era of partisanship.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

List the Democratic figures you most admire: Hillary Clinton, or Obama, or Sanders, or Bill Clinton, or O'Malley, or Biden, or whoever else.

List, say, three things that they've done or said that you strongly disapprove of. If you can't do that, go out and research some. If you can't do *that*, go out and take a good long look in a mirror and question your own judgement.

Much I owe to the Lands that grew--
More to the Lives that fed--
But most to Allah Who gave me two
Separate sides to my head.

Much I reflect on the Good and the True
In the Faiths beneath the sun,
But most to Allah Who gave me two
Sides to my head, not one.

Wesley's following, Calvin's flock,
White or yellow or bronze,
Shaman, Ju-ju or Angekok,
Minister, Mukamuk, Bonze--

Here is a health, my brothers, to you,
However your prayers are said,
And praised be Allah Who gave me two
Separate sides to my head!

I would go without shirt or shoe,
Friend, tobacco or bread,
Sooner than lose for a minute the two
Separate sides of my head!

The Two-sided Man, by Rudyard Kipling
