It was a dark and lengthy car ride. I had two and a half hours of nighttime driving ahead of me and I’d had a long day. I needed to stay alert, but my usual staples (cranking up the A/C and putting on high energy music) weren’t enough. I needed something more. So I came up with a game and started playing it right then and there in my car. Goal of the Game.

With a national election getting closer and closer, I find myself thinking about our political system and the increasingly divisive tone of policy debate today. As I recall, there was a time when Americans could have different political views and still enjoy a cordial, even friendly relationship.
