Can U.S. politics inspire unified efforts worldwide?

BRATTLEBORO — I just need to vent.

Our country is in an utter-bullshit, ridiculous, and embarrassing state with the namby-pamby bipartisanship stranglehold of our country and its citizens over something as ridiculous and politically paralyzing as our current president's idea of keeping people out of our country.

We need, if you will, people in government locally who have an understanding and compassion for all they serve. This approach should spill out to countries around the world, prompting them to come together.

How about this, for starters: Canada, México, Afghanistan, and China working together to stop the flow of illegal drugs that are killing our citizens at a current rate of at least 114 people a day?

Thanks for reading - and, if you will, please find me a soapbox.
