I think you're right that most people want good things for society, even if there's some disagreement about what that is, and a lot of disagreement about how to get there.

But there are some even out here who seem to take great delight in slamming anyone with different beliefs. We do have one political writer for our paper who quite often says that while he doesn't agree with this or that person, they do have good ideas and if only the opposing parties could get together, maybe the country could get some good out of it. <br />Does that make sense?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-3866466694098812962015-10-24T20:55:01.232-04:002015-10-24T20:55:01.232-04:00LOL!

Sometimes I agree with the outcome one political party or the other wants, but not necessarily for the REASONS they want it. EX: We need more income equality, not because the evil conservatives are screwing the masses, but because it will be an enticement for us to work together and think more about what's good for us ALL. It will be in our national interest to be unified and strong, not polarized, with everyone looking out for only #1. The end result is we will ALL be better off....it isn't a zero sum proposition. One side doesn't have to lose for the other to win. Don't always look at things in liberal/conservative terms. Look at the big picture.<br /><br />And I think Stephen Hayes is spot on.
