West Wing Winds Down
I'm a little sad to hear of the cancellation of West Wing, but I'm satsified that the show covered a lot of issues in ways that only a fictionalized show could have done. I think it was probably therapeutic for us to have West Wing running at the same time we've had to deal with real terror threats, lobbyist scandals, natural disasters (and the accompanying finger-pointing) and other real issues that stressed Americans and threatened to divide us against ourselves. The storylines of West Wing helped to underscore the need to feel free to disagree with one another in details, but to keep working together toward maintaining the original principles and freedoms that made our country unique and inviting in the first place.
