Bammert letter: State of the nation

Field of dreams; I am not alone when I say that the current state of politics is out of control. To vote or not to vote is not the question. To be a Republican or Democrat is not the question. Do we wish to remain a progressive nation is still in question. Heaven help us all less we forget who we are as a nation of individuals. With this in mind let’s not forget the importance of outside-the-plate thinking. If it were not for the World Series of baseball where would we be? Thank you, World Series, for peace of mind in this time of nonsense.

James Bammert, Boise
