I wish our political parties had just one objective:  Working collaboratively with other political parties.   Most solutions on problems and issues requires compromises and it means that even though we didn't agree on everything, we came up with a way of possibly solve the problem.  Meanwhile, too many of us on the sidelines have become very good at criticizing the people, the processes, and the decisions.  We need to get involved in coming up with solutions to these problems.  Mahatma Gandhi left us with a good thought, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
