The deviant intellectual in you needs it. These New Times will require New Thinking and New Solutions. Our nation is of two minds on virtually everything. Geographic maps that color code each county reveal a commonweal with vast differences between the midlands and clusters of voting behaviors along the coasts. The suburbs split evenly between these cultural poles and represented the primary psychological battlegrounds.

Symbols are engulfing substance as choreographic emotional displays rally racial and ethnic groups into polarized mini mass minds. Clearly there are great divides. Men tended to vote one way, woman the other. Blacks en masse supported the Democratic party, as did the bulk of Jewish voters and dedicated union members. Both major parties moved toward the center while claiming their viewswere unique and different.
