Hello. Been kind of bitter year between us. With all this name calling, and fighting about politics and such. I've long realized we don't see eye to eye on many things, but I've always respected your points of view. I like to think we both recognize that all any of us want is what's best for our country. Sure, we're going to differ about the best way to do it, and maybe even what is best in the end. But I know that you want the best America we can have, and I hope you know that I do too.
I'd guess that 2004 is going to be even uglier. But it doesn't have to be. I think that each side has demonized everyone on the other side, mostly for their own benefit, and it just leads to this ugliness of name calling, anger and hostility. It does no one any good. It just makes you dislike us more, and we dislike you more. And for what? Because you loathed Clinton, and we loath Bush. It's stupid, frankly. I know that you're a good person, and I'd trust you with the keys to my house, and I think you'd feel the same about me.
If we were to sit down and talk about what we want for America, without worrying about what the parties say, or what the politicians say, I think we'd end up agreeing on more than we disagree on. We'd likely have different ways of getting there, but can any of us argue about wanting peace, prosperity, friends, family, safety and having some fun?
Anyway, I've taken enough of your time. Here's hoping that 2004 is a better year in America. Here's hoping we can stop the petty arguing about who's right and wrong about the small things, and start working together to fix all the big things. This is a great country we share, and it's up to all of us to make it better not worse. Happy New Year.
