does it ever strike anyone that grown-up conservatives were those kids in preschool who didn’t play well with the other kids? because honestly: what do you hear from conservatives?
– “Why do I have to share?”
– “How come I can’t have more?”
– “But I don’t want other kids to play with my toys!”
okay, I know, I’m not being fair. i’m just whining about extremists. granted, there are liberal extremists too, and they’re no better than conservatives. It’s just that extremist liberals basically the same selfish logic and give it a pseudo-social bent. I think that contradicts the very ideas of liberalism: that everyone deserves a fair shot at a decent life. I didn’t say special treatment, I didn’t say a perfect happy life. I said a fair shot at a decent life. And you know, it’s up to a society to do its best toward that.
Anyway, I could write a whole thesis on that, but i’ll stop here. at any rate, it takes a certain kind of willfulness to be extreme in either direction, and for anyone to say that only one way is the way to go on all issues is… well… i’d say they’re not very educated. :(
education’s a good thing! knowledge helps a person better understand their world and can help them improve it. yay education!
haha, ok, i’ll stop! i’ll stop!!
