America faces numerous serious problems but the problems are never defined except in terms of who is to blame, personal vitriol, and stances that either appeal only to the emotions or logic that avoids discussing the actual suffering of human beings. I will suggest techniques and insights from my career as a psycho"therapist" that might help people better communicate and avoid the rage and conflict that now dominates so many political discussions.
