Which issue?

[The_Rorschach]

"Do any of you see such an issue troubling the two-party system in the near future?"

Yes and no. Off the top of my head I could easily list a number of intrinsically important concerns which should impact the political spectrum powerfully enough to warrant a third party resurgance. . .

But the paradigm, I believe, has shifted beyond that. America, historically, has maintained a civically oriented focus within the community revolving around certain political tenants such as liberty, freedom and communal responsibility -tenants which fostered attentiveness and activism within society. In recent years we have seen a chasm develop between the mindset of past generations and those existant now. Yes, the issues are there which would support the zenith of third party emminance, but not the public support to give such parties necessary influence.

In short, too many Ranxers, Zhukovs, Ronnies and Vinths without enough Italians, Spinsters, Burbanks and Herbivores.
