Yeah, well there are three kinds of people in the world, when you are talking about this kind of issue, so let me just give you a little metaphor. Say you have a picnic table in your yard you like to have dinner with the family with, all is well until several times in a row one of the kids gets stung by a yellow jacket, and you notice the table is right on top of a huge and deep nest of ground hornets. It's a big yard and there is another nice tree on the other side of it that would be a really nice place for the picnic table, should you choose to move it over there. Here's what each type would be likely to do.
The hard left liberal, would perhaps stop eating outside until next summer. This is the guy who cares so much about the environment and the whales, and peace and love. The type who has sit ins and gatherings to talk about peaceful solutions, the granola crunching fool who never found his way out of the 60s. This is the guy who supports causes, just so people will see him supporting the causes. He is saying, look at me, am I not a fine example of all that is good in the world? Am I not one who makes a difference? These types either go to their graves this way, or, more often sell out to make as much money as they can in middle age. They purport and pretend to still hold to their old ideas, but we all know it's bullshit! In reality he lives his whole life out trying to impress others, but more importantly himself what a wonderful person he is. Yet the cruel reality, is that appearances had been so important to them, they forgot to actually live life and learn and grow, and the only damn difference they made was for people to look back on their deeds in history and either nostalgically, or regretfully and think about thinks like "Were people ever truly that stupid and pathetic?"
The realistic, practical, sensible person, who some so vitriolically, call indecisive, wishy-washy, can't make up their mind, and blowing in the wind moderates, would most likely figure the the hornets are pretty well dug in and they would drag the table across the yard and continue to enjoy their family dinners in their beautiful yard under a wonderful old cherry tree. Contrary to popular opinion, among these people their are democrats and there are republicans and their opinions vary, but for the most part, they look and see what works and go with it.
Then you have the hardcore un-bendable, inflexible, and stuck on old ideas proven time and time again not to work, yet they persist in it anyway, hard right conservative. The type who looks down from his soap box at everyone and feels himself superior, when most of the rest of the world sees him for the pathetic idiot he really is. That's the guy who is poking a stick down in the nest and trying to figure out how to kill that god damn hornets nest! He'll spend half the damn summer working on it and getting stung, while the family eats inside every night. But by god he will evict or kill those mother fuckers! What right do they have setting up a nest on HIS property?!? What right do they have to terrorize HIS family....
I think some of you get my point, while some of you will never get it and more's the pity. In the end if we are not flexible enough to adapt to changing situations, well we just become extinct. It's called survival of the fittest. I know which type I am, do you know which you are?
