A Precipice?

Those of us living deep in red state territory and surrounded by the likes of TexasFred may not be shocked by stories like this but that doesn't mean we're not concerned. We may watch Alexandra Pelosi's upcoming documentary with a sense that we are already war weary and the real fighting hasn't even started yet. I've had that feeling a lot lately - tired and discouraged, yet full of apprehension that the worst is yet to come. It's not hard to imagine what might push us over the brink, but do any of you have any thoughts about what might pull us back from the edge?
