America goes to the polls: A moment to reject a dark future
There will be two events of major significance this week.
One looks forward, the other looks backward but both, in the circular nature of humanity’s never-ending struggle with itself, speak to the future through the past. America goes to the polls tomorrow to elect a new House of Representatives. One third of the Senate will be elected and three dozen governorships are in play. Of the 36 states voting for a governor, 26 have Republican incumbents, nine are Democrats and there is one independent.
