Not in Congress but at least in some sectors of Cyberspace, I am starting to notice a change in attitude. Bloggers from the center left and center right are putting rancor aside when discussing issues of vital public concern. Are the twin crises of Daesh and Ebola - plus far rightwing fringe fatigue - driving a newfound convergence of opinion? Will the time-honored art of compromise and consensus return to public life – without the “my-way-or-the-highway” intransigence that has caused past resentments and deadlock? Or am I being irrational and unreal with foolish optimism?
