There is much wisdom in your words, Bobby. The opposition in your words - "red," "blue," "tittle," "tattle," beautifully illustrates your theme of conflict and dissension. Congratulations on your POTD. Well done!

When politicians stop listening to the other side they end up entrenched as they are now in the US. Love your red + blue = purple analogy and your title. Good to see you back, Bobby and hope you are well. Congrats on your POTD ~ John

How terrible that Politicians can make or break a country - purple is America's colour now,but what colour would every other country in the world be if they mixed the colors of their countries flags - Bobby are you back on soup because i sent you a soup mail about 6 months ago to welcome you back to poetry soup. Congratulations my friend on your lovely POTD. Jennifer.
