Division in America

National commentator Bill O'Reilly's latest commentary begins with "What is really dividing America?"  This simple statement accepts the division while begging an answer.  On the one had, it is a confession there is a division. No longer is there a fiction of division.   On the other hand, it confesses the division is a matter of concern, discussion, and hopes for resolution. It seeks for a solution. There is none.

You can talk about a division.  We all do this, sometimes just to make a point.  But when you cite it as a given, this is yet another proposition.  When you say there is no solution to a division, you are inviting an irresolute situation. This can be divisive; this can be derisive; this can be deadly.
