For those of you who read my blogs (I think I'm up to 5 including my wife and mom) you may remember my blog about politics earlier. While I feel a little uncomfortable talking about politics, I feel compelled to talk about issues that relate to ADR. So I will write another.

As the poll results were streaming in, I was reminded of a phrase I read by a representative from Ohio. "This is not a time for compromise." So I began to think to myself, 'why is compromise such a bad thing?' It seems compromise has become something of a dirty word, especially for those up for re-election. Democrats that work with Republicans are seen as soft and republicans that work with democrats are seen as traitors. While we may disagree on many things, one thing we should agree on is that we need to get through the problems together. I do not envy any politician. This is a civil service that comes with heavy pressure. I cannot understand economics,education, or war all by myself, and I do not expect my politicians to as well. For this reason, they MUST work together, create dialogue, and find the best solutions for their country. The United States is at an interesting place in history, and what they do will forever shape the direction of the country. I know the hope word was overused last campaign so let me use another word. I aspire for a congress that works together to help our country prosper, and to give this country a good example on how to resolve issues.

Let me know what you think. I am open to any conversation.
Hope you all voted!
