We are indeed a polarized society. I have often contemplated writing an article called the Divided States of America and build the article around breaking the country in two with the lefties to move east of the Misssissippi and the righties to the west (yes, all the libs form Cali would have to move to Vermont).

I think we're so far apart on so much, that Congressional gridlock has simply becometoo paralyzing a force for any progress to be made.
