Hello Phantasmal,
It is good to see you are still here as well.
A voice of reason and sanity.
I gotta say. I just cannot wrap myself around the me-first attitude of the right. IGMTHWY.
It makes no sense. I am so liberal. It is logical to reason that we are all here together in a society so we should all do what we can and be understanding that we can't always get our way on everything. We should try to tweak our governments and organizations for the good of society, because we all live in it and what's good for society is good for us.
Conservatives see it completely differently. To them it's: There's idiots jerks and bad people out there, so we need to grab what we can for ourselves and forget about what that does to anybody else. If you're not with us then we are against you.
To me, conservatives appear to hate the government that we created, that we have the power to adjust and control at our collective will. To them, anything collective is evil. But they collectively want to run the government they hate. It's crazy!
I always agree when you point out how silly and hypocritical some conservative ideas are.
