I definitely believe in small government, and completely agree with WalkaWalka that the Government should be controlled by the people, not vice/versa.


On another point, there is a division in this country, to a point where by the time new generations are able to vote, they've been so brainwashed by the media and the people to believe that there are only 2 choices in political affiliation. We are practically programmed to believe that even if our views fall somewhere in the middle, we need to pick a side because, no matter what, a middle of the road candidate (like, a libertarian) will not be elected. Not the case if enough people decide to think for themselves rather than blindly following the ideals of their party like a fucking religion.

And when people do pick the side that leans more towards their views, like with team spirit, they will root for their team no matter how many fouls it makes. Loyalty is a wonderful human characteristic, but it can be blinding to truths. And like when choosing a particular religion, you've almost guaranteed a narrower outlook on the world, with limited flexibility in thinking if you jump in with both feet like most people do. Not a very progressive move, imho.

I personally think the division of this country is deliberate move possibly influenced by the government with its ties to the media, etc, and I think we have been brainwashed for many years that the only choice we have is to divide and have an all or nothing attitude about the running of this country. Finding common ground is rarely encouraged, except with empty words by savvy politicians. And finding a common ground among the people is the only way this country will move in a positive direction. Politics isnt religion, but its being treated like it is, the church of Republicans vs. the church of Democrats, which religion is right when both are flawed? I dunno, but pick a side anyway and go with it!


How about "think for yourself, and vote in the candidate who thinks most like you do." Why lock yourself into one party and then waste your energy trying to rationalize why so-and-so should be president when they are clearly flawed and extreme in their ideas, all because you lost hope that another worthwhile candidate with progressive ideas could be elected? It really bugs me when people say "a vote for [libertarian candidate] is like a vote for so-and-so of the main parties" No its not. Its a vote for that candidate, and a vote that didnt go toward the 2 dimwits we are forced to believe are our only choices.
