Why Attack?

The media's use of the word "attack" when it comes to the politicians versus their political opponents is a rather dismal way to frame a democratic process. Dismal and dangerous because we seem to be incorporating it, as if the elections were a criminal act.  (?) It is dangerous for us to become used to the word "attack" being tossed around so nonchalantly, as if we're at war with our fellow citizens. (?) Come to think of it, the word is trying to or already has become us. What a tragic shame... © 2015 Mark Richard Prime
