Just wondering, am I the only one who doesn't care about this? After being bombarded by the constant rhetoric, I am fatigued! In fact, this is for you, my whiny, government expanding, endangered rodent saving, wealth spreading, wasteful program creating, America hating, liberal pals. And also for you, my god fearing, overly proud, fear mongering, big CEO venerating, scientifically illiterate, Glenn Beck loving conservative friends. I am politically AGNOSTIC! I am on vacation from you guys. You are really starting to annoy me - leave me alone!
Ahhh, that's better. Ok, a little tongue-in-cheek fun. Please don't take it to heart my polarized readers. To be just a touch more philosophical....We seem to have lost perspective in this country. I love this Jefferson quote: "Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle". Man, this country and culture has become so much about chest thumping and streams of misinformation. "Keep saying it until it's true" seems to be the policy of both parties.
The thing is, biology tells us that populations of the same species vary. Americans will always exhibit great variation: philosophically, politically - heck I even heard we vary morphologically..? Somewhere along the way, we split into two divisions and then clung to those beliefs like life rafts. Inheriting or learning from those before us that two sides exist - chose one. You can stray a little, but you are a traitor if you stray too much.
Oh well, perhaps I lack strong conviction because I have not done enough research to develop well crafted point-of-views. I can hear the crowd coming already - stone the non-believer! See ya, gotta go!!
