Argument culture demands that we all 'shut down'
October 08, 2013
The Oct. 4 letter lamenting an "I don't care" attitude related to the federal government shutdown caught my interest.
While I do care very deeply and am a committed public servant, I have sympathy and understanding for those who "don't care." I have learned that "apathy" is a favorite word for politically minded people. Yet apart from recognizing that it exists, blaming those who choose to shut down politically has limited value for me.
I understand why people have to turn off. It has all gone horribly wrong! Partisan bantering simply contributes to the "argument culture" our country has come to exemplify.
It is a leadership issue. Who can respect a system where leadership does not work together for the good of all our citizens, is blinded by political philosophy, caters to the almighty dollar, and is caught up in circular communication that leads to always making bad decisions?
The values of our great society are daily threatened by

For Cape Cod women, 'reproductive rights' services are non-existent
Roe v. Wade may not have been overturned, but reproductive rights are harder to claim when clinics are shutting down in large numbers in each state. If you are on Cape Cod and transportation is an issue, you might not be able to exercise the rights that have been protected by the Roe V Wade decision.
