I remember a line from the show “South Pacific”: “I know what you are against, what are you for?”
I wonder what it would look like if the creators of political ads stopped negative ads? Is there anything positive in our politics?
Another positive thought: A USA Today interview with Dolly Parton quotes her as saying: “God gave us free will. America gave us free speech, but you’ve got to be responsible for anything you say and do.” Something to think about.
