No doubt (that is the main reason that keeps me on this list), but they seem to be such a tiny minority. There was a plenty of humane and interseting people in Weimar Germany too. It seems to me that the whole country goes in a wrong direction and its is not just me - that impression is shared by most people I talk to.
Some time ago The Nation published a cartoon titled "Political descent" showing a devolution from human (FDR) to dinosaour (Reagan) and to jellyfish (Clinton). What we see now is not devolution but a descent to hell.
I wish I could share your optimism - but I simply do not see a light at the end of the tunnel. Or rather the one that I see is that of the oncoming Republican locomotive.
Meanwhile, I promise no more ranting, at least on this list.
