The idea behind psychic integration is that it makes the individual healthier and more whole. It seems no great stretch to apply these same principles to our national psyche.
While the current party leadership deserves credit for a new path to presidential power, much of the new "Western strategy" has long been championed by former Senator Gary Hart.
Do we really want this guy locked up again, but this time as the leader of the "free world?" In essence, that's what being the president is all about. You are a POWH... Prisoner of the White House.
