Points of view in America,does anyone know the truth?
How could Americans see the same things and come up with such a wide range of opinions. Everyone in America think that their point of view is the right one and will go down swinging to defend it .No matter what conclusions we come to, the facts are staring us right in the face.It is our right to see things as we see them no matter what others may think. Some on the left think that those on the right who belong to the working class continue to vote against their own interest by voting for the republican party .Some on the right think that the liberal are communist or socialist and want the government to take care of them from cradle to grave.As we see what is going on around us we each still think that the other is wrong .As we look at what each party does and how it affects us as individuals there should be something in side of us that would lead us to understand what we need to do.The democratic party and the republican party should serve the interest of the American people and the economic interest of America . But the lobbyist for corporate interest over America's interest is all that we get.People on both sides have common needs along with a need to balance corporate interest with that of the people , at least to a point .We,Americans can't seem to get pass the conn jobs .They keep us at each others throats and we don't seem to have a clue .There no jobs,many have no health insurance and many have lost their homes .A few people in America are getting filthy rich as the suffering of the masses grows. Have the Extreme capitalist stack the deck in their favor or is it just the market doing its own thing.In the past 8 years these things have come to a head and the working class and the vanishing middle class better come together and figure out who we can trust to run this country soon.Some are split along racial lines and think that the colors of concern are black and white but the guys who are getting rich as the American economy gos to hell are only concerned with one color. That color is GREEN ! The people on the lower ladder of the economic food chain are so busy fighting each other along these lines . The politicians are manipulating us all to the point where there is little hope that any of us will ever see what is really going on .Some think they do but that is just their opinion . We are so concerned about race skin color and illegals that we have all become easy marks for those who are manipulating us to suite their own purposes .Our insecurities , our bigotry and our ignorance are our biggest enemies because with out them we would have some hopes of solving a lot of our problems as a country . I apologize for the rambling,What do you think ?

I don't see the disagreements being so much about facts as they are about what to do about situation going forward.I agree that the right vs. left stuff is mainly to keep us busy fighting each other and not working towards the bigger picture, but quite frankly I don't see much progress until the conflicts are resolved.Right now there is a lot of complacency on that front because, while economic times are not the rosiest, most of us still lead comfortable lives and we don't want to jeopardize that.I think it's natural to have conflicts because our values are different, sometimes much different. For example, I have this thing about stealing. If I were running the world, I would punish stealing severely because it shows total disrespect for your fellow man. Others say dishing out punishment for any reason shows disrespect. Clearly there is a difference of opinion and it's not something that can ever get sorted out by discussion. I know my values won't change based on a discussion, and for most others it works the same way, so the only options are:1) live in a different society from those whose values are different2) fight it out until one side capitulates3) just swallow it and live with the differences, much like we are doing nowWhen everyone does number 3, you have the situation you are observing now. If the current situation is not good, then that leaves two options: duke it out or break up into smaller societies. Personally I like the latter choice, but if the others don't agree, it may default to having to duke it out at some stage. That stage will probably come when and if the economy goes deeper into the abyss.
I was in a car with 4 other people, we witnessed an automobile accident, we all had different versions of the accident, and even different opinions of what color the car was. It is amazing how the mind works.
In the Big Apple, if someone smells your weakness you're a goner, who'll never hear the sound of the burp.
