“One of the sad things about this political season is that it allows [requires] us to get behind our big "Liberal" or "Conservative" banner and forget, for a time, that the big problems in our country have been around a long time and have been batted back and forth, caused and exacerbated, by both sides, and are more spiritual or ethical than [merely] political.” LongHas BeensCountryProblemBigsSpiritualPoliticalSidesForgetBehindsLong TimeSeasonsConservativeOur CountryEthicalBoth SidesBack And ForthBannerBig ProblemsSad Things Author:George Saunders
