The rift which has been sown in the heart of our nation has since grown ever more pervasive, and virulent as consequence of the blind rhetoric to which many others' whether representative of government, if not otherwise, seem eager to defer. They strive to accommodate the prejudice inherent in the minds of their constituents, no matter the extent to which such beliefs as bore therein, remain unfounded, and the vitriol espoused by means of the same, misplaced. Those through whom there be exercised much authority in regard to the course of governance sought, often dismiss the truth of any matter in question, and instead remain drawn toward that with which their convictions are most aligned, independent of whether the latter have semblance to merit. One must endeavor toward preservation of balance, for the sake of ensuring that neither aisle be conferred the privilege to subsume all manner of authority beneath their own guise as it pertains to governance, whilst all the same, seek to eschew that which is wholly partisan in nature, and thus abide by the requisite for greater unity from its inception, wheresoever it arises, onward.

The greatest damage can be incurred only insofar as we fail to expend ourselves in the hope that through action, resolve can be attained by virtue of concord. No other wish I feel to be more pertinent, nor more deserving of consideration in times such as these; rife with conflict, and blindness toward the need to transcend the divide of party-lines', for betterment of the whole.

Our strength lies in tolerance, in the absence of which, regress becomes mere certainty, and shall erode the integrity of state to the detriment of all; lest we faulter in pursuance therewith.
