A Pre-Election Editorial

On the eve of election day here in the United States, my feelings are ambivalent.

On the one hand, I'm grateful to be living in a country that can freely elect its leaders, and it also gives me a sense of hope for the future.

But on the other hand, the bigger and heavier hand, it also fills me with dread when I think of the vitriol and hatred that both sides hurl at the opposition.

You can't move forward when you've drawn a line in the sand and you can't shake someone's hand when it's clenched in a fist.
