Most people scream bloody murder for compromise, so how about this: The rural areas of Texas secede and the cities can stay in the Union.

Or, two guys walking across the ice and come to deep crevasse. One says let's stop and go back. The other says let's just get a running start and jump over.

The first two options were a viable solution to not getting killed, but any compromise would be a disaster. Sometimes, a bad idea is just a bad idea, and it should not be compromised. It should be rejected. How much rat hair is an acceptable amount in your next restaurant meal?

There is a time and place for everything, so choose wisely. The problem is with Congress' 20 percent approval rating. We are not dealing with a wise body of lawmakers, on both side. There's too much politics in politics.
