Wouldn't you agree?
I was watching the Daily Show yesterday, and they discussed about how when the founding fathers got together to discuss their plans for politics, they would actually debate for hours. Each would listen to the opinions of the other and they would eventually reach a conclusion, they wouldn't argue, they would debate. Isn't that something?
Now it's all about pleasing as many people as possible, not so much standing up for what you believe in.
Sad.
Ever watch the Senate or Congress do a "so called" debate on TV? Passing minutes back and forth....looks real good...till they do a shot of the rest of the room. EMPTY except for the few ready to talk.
I know. Wouldn't it be great if things weren't so fucked now?Quote:

They must be anti-American!" Oh, and they argue allot.
Agree, but isnt it so much fun?
True. Why I'm here in the politics forum! :D
True, true. But we're just a bunch of potheads arguing for fun, seems to me we should expect better from those actually making policy.Quote:
