Rivalry

So today is the big Clemson/Carolina football game. It seems important now, of course. I went to school at Clemson, and it means a lot to me, but it isn't the be-all and end-all, of course. After Monday, when the fans of the winners get to grin at the fans of the losers, it is done. For most of us, anyway. But the bigger rivalry, that between those who see government as the absolute problem and those who see certain government interventions as the potential solution, will continue. And those of us who worry about what will happen in the future, who are concerned about the health care situation in this country, will continue to fight for what we think is the right thing, the only reasonable thing to do.
