All this only makes me sigh and think of how this country is more divided than ever, even including the Civil War era when it was only two sides.

It doesn't help that our public schools are little more than agenda factories laced with immoral, twisted half-truths to propagate the bitterness and confusion.
Oh boy.
I know I'm going to regret this, but please, explain. I'd like to know how modern American's are more divided then historical Americans from a time a period where they were
literally shooting people based on what state they were from.
I'm also curious as to what part of the school curriculum you're so offended by. It's true we do tend to gloss over some things we probably shouldn't (Not strictly an US only problem), but I'm curious as to whether that's what you mean, or if you're referring to one of a dozen of, uh, 'questionable' truths some people would like taught in schools.
Wasn't expecting a serious reply from someone who's only gone two days without killing a hooker but oh well. My original post and the context of "divided" - especially the part left out - should've sufficed.
There's more going on in the country, and furthermore the world, than what's reported on CNN/taught in public school/etc. They like to paint as politically correct of a picture as possible to make things look...pretty good -
but take away the facade and it's more like this -
All one really has to do is Google "America more divided than ever" for an idea.
For all our differences, if it's ever going to work, we still must strive to be one culture, one people. The problem is it's not really happening like it should be in order to thrive. With all the decades of ever-increasingly prominent preachings of tolerance, coalitions for equality, etc., things should be pretty honky-dory. However, we've only just recently found dory, or so I've heard.
