If ever there was an election in which None of the Above should be on the ballot, it's this one. Even the third-party candidates stink. But you know what? I got to watch some tremendous high school marching bands in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma this week. If you want to know what's going well in our country, go see one of these shows. You will see coordination, spectacle, discipline, beauty, dedication, and spirited yet friendly competition. And our Irondale Marching Knights were there:

You don't see anger and contempt at a marching band show. You see mutual respect. You see what's still right with America, and what it can be.

Actually, I saw anger and contempt in a band show...you just have to sit among the band members who are unhappy that the 300 member band didn't get called for all the kids who were out of place/out of step... :^)
(the band when I was young: Ben Davis of Indianapolis...very good, but we always felt they got away with things because the judges couldn't see everything due to marching 300 people plus)
Good times....
