Read an awesome article--an interview with former MN governor Arne Carlson titled "The Power of We." It can be found here: http://www.tcbmag.com/multimedia/multimedia/85705p1.aspx

Arne says what I have felt and not been able to voice forever, and that is proper and efficient government cannot happen with those on either extreme. But with leadership that touts the "we", and togetherness, great things can happen. Hence, what we built in this country in the first 200 years, and what we built in Minnesota up until the recent decade. I encourage you to read the article, it's great.
