Healing to the Nations

Dave Barry's latest piece is a must read. He's aiming low these days: "I thought that, in today's column, I would heal the nation." Barry is serious this time--he is out to unify Red and Blue state America. Just as the early Christians were united in the face of various opponents, so we as Americans can be united around our opponent: the federal government. Barry's piece is entertaining and disarming, as all effective satire is. In fact, I was going to write something serious about it, but I realized it certainly wouldn't be entertaining and nearly as certainly ineffective. Read the whole thing.
