The anti-war rallies are producing alot more violent episodes nowadays maineman. The problem is, such as with on here, we arte losing our ability to state our case and allowing passion to guide / our judgement more often. For instance, on here, not one thread seems to go 20 posts deep without namecalling or insinuation of the other being stupid because they disagree.
John Kennedy once said of Barry Goldwater, the man I respect the most is the man I seem to disagree with the most. He was very fond of Goldwater and respected him very much, but, they disagreed on almost everything. We have lost that ability to do as they were capable of. To disagree and still be united.
As we have evolved to this simpleton way of conducting politics we have lost our edge. The world no longer respects America and we have done it to ourselves, AND, it is the fault BOTH political parties.
