The Prevention Institute just posted some thoughts they have, based on an analysis by Democracy Corps, a research group led by Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg and political consultant James Carville, on what is behind the Federal Government shutdown. The piece titled, Shutdown Power Play: Stoking racism, fear of culture change to push anti-government agenda which is posted on Forbes.com presents an interesting perspective. Yesterday, Melissa Harris-Perry on her talk show, MHP on MSNBC, in a similar discussion with her guests provided a historical perspective. The Prevention Institute is inviting people to share their thoughts and comments with them.
