A Bird Needs Both Wings to Fly

I was reading the latest issue of Rolling Stone and in their need to explain the results of the election, they spoke to a few "pundits" of the entertainment industry. And that doesn't mean Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi. I was struck by something that Tom Wolfe said:

I've never seen an election taken so personally by people -- not even Nixon vs. Kennedy. But this country is so centrist, we're not really going to go wrong whoever's elected. Our government is like a train on a track: People yell at it from the left, and they yell at from the right, but the train goes right down the middle where the tracks are.

This reminds me of something that Brian Simms, a history teacher at my high school once said: "A bird needs both wings to fly."

No one that is out to destroy America would ever be elected president no matter what the opposition party will tell you. It is rhetoric and that is all. The truth is the fact that there are two opposing parties will keep any real harm from ever occurring. As much as the media, the pundits and the parties themselves would like us to believe this country is divided, on the political spectrum, Democrats and Republicans are very close to one another. Many nations around the world would love to have as much stability as we have. Just as the Ukraine.
