There is an old Chinese curse that goes "May you live in interesting times". Well the folks in the USA are currently doing so in their election. A gripping, historic campaign that offers genuine choice between the two (or 3 if you count Palin) candidates. The downside to that is the huge swathes of resentment and antipathy that are being built up on either side and will surely unleash itself as anger and mistrust from whichever side loses.
Here in Canada we have no such problems. The whole agenda of all the parties seems to be "let's not make this too interesting". I hate the bland nature of what Canadian politicians represent but maybe, just maybe, it's for the best.
