And you are so right, there is way too much emphasis on the short term election cycle. @Ken, this was written with you in mind, Glad you finally saw it. @both, sorry for the late reaction, I forgot to select the comment alert.<br />Ien in the Kootenayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766317652520657570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566969531312189254.post-53732207711315302152013-12-26T11:51:34.660-08:002013-12-26T11:51:34.660-08:00Thanks Ien, this is the first time I have read thi...Thanks Ien, this is the first time I have read this post. I appreciate your take on it. All of us need one another whether we like it or not. We all have a propensity to eventually give in to our carnal nature. It is at that point when multiplied by millions (or even hundreds) of people we go wayward. It is the opposing thoughts and voices that help keep society more balanced.<br /><br />Wish we had more people who think objectively like you.

And while my FB page does not show it I consider myself a moderate in that I like some really liberal ideas but some rather conservative ones usually based on more information.<br /><br />I blame our current political problems on teaching for the test which has led to a 40% drop out rate in my state alone. And I blame that policy on the GOP that wants the populace uninformed so they can make the decisions they want made. But that is probably the far liberal in me. That me can make Plato look conservative.<br /><br />I do wish our democracies could elect people better educated to govern and less educated in getting elected.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.com
