this i find amusing.
i find myself amazed when conservatives do not agree with me. can they possibly actually believe the party line? but then they probably think i'm an even bigger idiot for being a bleeding heart liberal.
then i remind them i am an idealist, not a liberal. idealists are much more dangerous.
i'm starting to think that the two party system is what is causing there to be such opposite sides of coin here in america. if we were to have another party or two (and i mean real parties with spectrum covering ideologies, not pet issue parties like the greens), i think the barriers between right and left would break down.
from a purely philosophical standpoint, it is too bad that the communism that was tried became so corrupted and failed so miserably. it may have offered that alternative choice to the captialist conservatism and liberalism that are the only two choices with enough clout to power the current system.
it's hard to understand which point of view is the "right" pov. and in this context of politics i mean "right" to be the system that can provide the greatest amount of good to the greatest amount of people. both sides have their arguments and justifications, and both sides have good ones.
i'll just be arrogant and think i'm the right one.
