POV
Dan Brooks has an interesting OpEd piece in the NYT (registration required) about the conflicting visions of the world presented by our two candidates for president: the Bush world view of independence and the Kerry view of interdependence. These views extend to almost every level of belief and policy. What would be more interesting is to analyze the ways in which the candidates go against that grain, especially on social issues.
Anyway, I liked the piece because it is a break from all of the highly charged polemics on both sides. That is getting very tiresome. Can't we all just get along? ;-)
