Really John? And you ask why people can't get along. You've just said that half of voting population have no moral conscience but you understand the value of unity and sacrifice.
Paleeeezzzzeee indeed. It may be time to step off the pedestal and take a look in the mirror.
Why do we become liberals or conservatives (with a few independents thrown in), and adopt the party line, without independent thought or reason.
When is the last time you observed a Liberal or a Conservative listen thoughtfully to the others point of view? No doubt there are exceptions, but not so many I think.
Will we ever evolve from our “Pack mentality”, and base our opinions on facts and reason?
The Liberals recognize the “greater good”, and are willing to make personal sacrifices for the community. They have a greater appreciation for the society, and can see “globally”. They understand the value of unity, and are willing to share.
On the other had we have the Conservatives, who tend to be focused on smaller social groups (could be a group of one). Want it now, and tend to take care of # 1 only. Really do not have a moral conscience (or much of one), and feel that everyone should fend for themselves. You know “Take personal responsibility”, (unless you are a banker).
