Of course, the powers that be are such humanitarians
Is it any different than the way they look at us? They are...them ...we are ...us. we vote in ideas and promises and we get lied to. They set their politics to mirror what the majority wants and as soon as they are in office presto a whole new idiot appears
It's also a ploy to insist that 'they' are 'us'. Those are polar extremes conceptually, and such black and white statements that ignore the realities of the shades of grey, are expressions of wishful thinking. Yes avoid the traps, but don't abandon critical thinking and one's valid observations, even one's instinct, because it's not politically correct, or for whatever reasons. The doctrine of uber-tolerance even while facing clear threats and blatant violence from our own government or others, only fuels the people's tolerance of being victimized. I'm not a Reagan fan, but there is something to be said about "trust but verify." And for the same reason I own guns, I think critically about everything so as not to be a victim.
Lol...I was thinking...it's a toss up between the Bush era and the bill can't keep it in my pants era...
I hate to even have to rely on 'hope' when talking about what a politician will or won't do. Nowadays, all one can do is 'hope' because no politician can be believed or taken at their word. Hope is a last a resort, not a way of life unless you're injured prey. I've decided that I'm going to retain my dignity (and maybe my soul) and not vote for any presidential candidate; heck, I'm in Oregon, a die hard blue state so all the electoral college votes are going to Hildabeast. I'll certainly vote for everything else, but I'm not giving any credence to a pathological lying career criminal or to a megalomaniacal narcissist who talks like one of the dumber Soprano meat heads.
So did I ...hate those ice flows in early winter
