Hey Harvey,
I can't endorse your statement as I'm a non-partisan politically. I was just remarking how the mantra I discussed had been a political staple for generations, yet seems to be crumbling as of late. I am more of a moderate and I fully support the government working collectively to improve life circumstances for all of its citizens. I can't stand partisan politics, actually. It's silly, as I will never fully endorse all of the positions anyone holds just because we have the same affiliation. That would be like saying I agree with everything my wife says and does because we are married.
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
Well, that's a smart way to look at it. My problem comes from one side being demonized to the point that the other side gets lionized when from my view, both sides suck tremendously in their own ways. Put them both together and the synthesis is double suck. In other words, I'm waiting for a tidal wave to wash away the old altogether in order to make way for something new. And yes, I realize I may wind up waiting my entire lifetime.
Good points HC.
Change rarely comes in tidal waves.
It comes incrementally.
And it sometimes comes from different sides working together.
But mostly it is 2 steps forward, 1 step back, and the corporations always win.
