50 years after Cuban missile crisis: closer than you thought to World War III

Great Ocean Road in Australia

We drove the Great Ocean Road for a time. Then I pulled a U Turn, and lined up on the proper side of the road - the American side - despite the fact that I had been driving in Australia for over a week. A senior moment before I was a senior.

I saw this strange guy coming at me and frantically blinking his lights. My light went on and I pulled back into the proper lane for Australians.

The other driver was not angry - apparently used to daft American or Canadian drivers on the wrong side of the road. We exchanged cheery waves and went on.

Independent - Republican - Democrat

PRINCETON, N.J. -- An average 43% of Americans identified politically as independents in 2014, establishing a new high in Gallup telephone poll trends back to 1988. In terms of national identification with the two major parties, Democrats continued to hold a modest edge over Republicans, 30% to 26%.

More and more of us are independent. But an independent has little chance of getting elected, so we rely on the two major parties to choose two candidates from which to choose.

It is not looking so good this year. Is Trump and Clinton the best the parties can offer? Is this the best we can do?
