Election question
The election is obviously the paramount event of the week. It's astonishing that a president who won one of the few majorities in our modern history should nonetheless inspire so much derision. We are split in ways I find puzzling. When Reagan was elected, many of us thought it was scary and alarming, but we didn't threaten to move to Canada - or at least no one I knew suggested it. We redoubled efforts to better situations we thought needed improving, and we went on to live with the man who had won the election. Why not this time? Why so much anger?
