Whatever happened to:
Putting aside our differences in a time of national crisis and supporting and helping each other to win the COVID-19 battle, for all of us?
Showing more patience and understanding as we struggle through these difficult times?
Giving us a break from all money-wasting political ads between primary and election time, even if only for a bit?
Promoting one’s abilities instead of attacking the opposition?
Not the real world, one might say? It should be.
Praying wouldn’t hurt. Guess I am showing my age.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
