People don't love each other, so they build protections against their own pain and hurt, and cut themselves off from aid and comfort. Republicans can't work with Democrats, Democrats can't work with Republicans - none of which is true. What is true that you don't need either political party to represent you. None of you, even true Party loyalists, believe exactly the same thing. Just like being used by the Union for your employment benefits, they always get stuff that you didn't want, you would rather have just kept working. You don't even get a chance to address the meeting often. Kind of like having a hundred shares of Exxon Mobil - you think they will listen to you in the shareholders meeting?
The world isn't really that gloomy, but it does seem that most human beings don't get beyond tribalism, clan loyalty and religious intolerance. Do I become a better man in Canada - their government isn't ours, or if I go into the Temple am I closer to God than the local Methodist church? People finally come to the conclusion they aren't going to be strong and handsome forever, that they are getting soft and weaker less vital and virile as they grow old, and prepare to drop off the branch of humanity. Governments and Religions don't seem to accept that, or those in positions of power and leadership don't accept change well. Something new might be to be feared, a strange idea needs to be stifled before it infects us all. The People didn't see a difference between the political parties, and started a protest called the TEA Party --- and the Republicans thought they could absorb them to increase their base. It hasn't worked well, it has worked, but the party should have looked at the why instead of trying to stifle the protest.
I did find it interesting that a new birth document from Kenya has surfaced for our President, looks much more like what would have been given at the time of his birth than the NEW one from Hawaii. Doesn't mean too much, President Obama is the President of the United States. I don't even care if he wants to be the Democratic Party Chief for Life. The number of lies won't hold back the flood waters of change - not much is working well in our CULTURE. Thank God that real love hasn't changed - that is something to build upon.
Good point Earl, without love we're dogfood anyway...
