There are huge challenges and opportunities in America today but we are in a stalemate due to our fractured political system. The common good has given way to partisan politics and the lure of lobby gold. The will of the people is largely ignored while those who go to Washington vote on issues so trivial that they are beyond belief. I always thought a third party was unrealistic ,but in light of the ineptness of the current crowd of cronies I think it may be time .
