and a county that voted over 68% for Bush also produced me. What's the lesson?
Your opinions are based on negatives, not positives. You define your world in terms of what you don't like, rather than what you do like, and carry residual bitterness with you. That bitterness distorts your view of the world. The ironic thing is that in a negative way, you allow those you don't like to control the choices you make with your life, which could (and probably has) lead you to make choices that are bad for you.
You need to start liking the positives more than you hate the negatives.
This is one of the things that really, really pisses me off about the left-it's so defeatist and 'anti'.
In the western world today, the right shows the initiative, and the left reacts. It reacts almost universally against the right, just because.
The mindset seems to be that the CONSERVATIVE side of politics is actually more proactive, whilst the PROGRESSIVE side is reactive!
I'm proud to subscribe to ideas that can best be described as socially liberal. I believe in a fair world, I believe in progression, and I believe, perhaps naivelyin humanity. My political philosophy, perhaps naively I'll admit, says that all situations start neutral and we can improve thm or make them worse. the left seems to think, especially when the right is in power, that everything starts negative and they have to work to et it back to neutral. All they're doing is keeping it there, not making any movement.
I know that was rambling, and I dout it makes much sense (it;s late) but I wanted to get it off my chest.
