But I think many humans have an overwhelming desire to "win"...for many years, conservatives here have played the fear card. Liberals play the "think of the children!" card.
Maybe I'm overly optimistic or naive, but I'd like for our society to get to a point where you lay it all out without being a candyass and let the people decide. And when they decide, be gracious...whether you're the winner or the loser.

That about sums it up for me. I don't consider myself as a conservative or a liberal. Guess because it would be difficult to explain to the Chruch Lady that I don't go to church and support a womans right to choose, but the libs can't wrap thier head around my gun collection and desire to support covert actions. No wonder people can't put a round peg in a square hole. If someone disagrees with you and will not see it your way they are "assholes" or "hostile". What a load of crap. They just have a different opinion and are supporting it in the the best way they see fit. I have never gone off half cocked at anyone who did not do so to me first. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
