Another Civil War?

Over the last couple of weeks I've listened to news reports, podcasts, etc. about how the passage of the health care bill has pushed political discourse to the edge of chaos.

The Left blames the Right. The Right blames the Left, and the Middle blames the media. There is a real danger of the fringe, with the proper combination of accelerants (rhetoric, hyperbole, and vitriol), becoming the mob.

The last civil war caused much of the social as well as economic fabric of the United States to be utterly destoyed. I pray our elected leaders consider how they might together heal the bruise before it becomes a sore.
