TWO AMERICAS

I SEE A MAN SITTING ON A BUCKET - CLEANING MOTOR PARTS. CONTENT.
I SEE A WOMAN READING A BOOK ON THE CIVIL WAR. CONTENT.
I KNOW A MAN WHO SENDS AND RECEIVES FAXES VIA HIS E-MAIL. CONTENT.
I KNOW A WOMAN WHO ROTO-TILLS, HOES AND THEN PLANTS A GARDEN. CONTENT. I HEAR ABOUT A GOVERNOR RUSHING TO A MEETING AT 90 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT A SEATBELT, ENDANGERING NOT ONLY HIMSELF BUT THE TROOPER WHO DROVE HIM. CONTENT
I HEAR ABOUT A WOMAN WHO STAYS AT HOME TO CARE FOR AND EDUCATE HER SEVEN CHILDREN. CONTENT.
I AM TOLD BY MY SENATOR THAT IRAQ IS A CIVIL WAR AND THAT "PARTISAN POLITICS AND INDIVIDUAL ATTACKS" ARE SIDETRACKS. CONTENT.
I AM TOLD BY OUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN WHO VOLUNTEER TO FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM, THAT THE WAR IN IRAQ IS NOT SIDETRACK OR A CIVIL WAR.

YES, THERE ARE TWO AMERICAS AS SURE AS THERE ARE TWO HELLARIES, HILLARY RODHAM AND HILLARY CLINTON. WITHIN OUR CULTURE AND SOCIETY, INDIVIDUALS SERVE OPPOSING MASTERS. THE MAN WHO SMOKES SITTING ON A BUCKET CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE WOMAN WHO READS. THE MAN WHO IS WED TO TECHNOLOGY AND GIMMICKS CANNOT TOLERATE THE LUDDITE WHO SHUNS THEM. THE MAN WHO IS RECKLESS AND SELF-CENTERED WILL NEVER APPRECIATE THE WOMAN WHO IS NOT. THE MAN WHO PRACTICES PARTISANSHIP AND INDIVIDUAL ATTACKS (THE VERY ACTIONS HE CONDEMNS) WILL NEVER FATHOM THE MOTIVATIONS OF PATRIOTS.

YES, THERE ARE TWO AMERICAS AS SURE AS THERE ARE CONFLICTING REALMS OF DELIGHT. HELLARY RODHAM CLINTON THINKS THAT SHE CAN INHABIT BOTH AND THE SAME TIME. LET'S HOPE AND PRAY THAT AMERICANS NEVER DO.
