[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 781054, member: 2189"] Island, In a general sense I agree very much with what you said and I think Jones in his own way does too. There is likely some micro specifics where we all differ but at the macro level I'd think we're at least in the same room. I just responded to Lifer in another thread and I think at a certain level he'd agree as well to some of the points you made. The frustration you showed is one I think lots of people share but are unsure or timid about stepping out and doing something completely different and Lifer made a good point indirect to this subject that percieved fear is the reason. We've been conditioned to take a stance and hold on to it mostly out of fear that if we vacate and do something different, the opposite political side will move near ground zero and thus take over the world. At the same time, those people who have been conditioned to be loyal to the opposite side fear the exact same thing happening in their world. In the mean time.........! We got what we got and today people will go to the polls to make sure we get more of it! another Mencken moment :happy2: [/QUOTE]
