The last several years have been hard on us for so many different reasons. Unfortunately, a great division has been created that will only serve to make it harder to move forward. Regardless of what choices are made, we stand stronger as a community if we can debate, air differences, vote, and then move forward. It is time for some healing to take place.
"Many forms of government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretend that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Winston S. Churchill
