Reply #4: Lemme rephrase this [View All]

I've felt for sometime now that ignorance is the biggest problem in the country if not the world, we all have biases no matter what we try to say, the problem though is that there are too many people who think they have the answer to everything and that everyone else's answer is wrong. I guess what I am trying to say that one should put process over ideology, take mininum wage for instance, I'd love to see it be 9 bucks an hour but if we could increase it to 7.15, I'd be happy, there are many people who would rather lose than get anything accomplished. I understand idealism but if there's anything that this has all taught me is that you have to understand that not everyone will feel the same as you. I think what's frustrating you is the same stuff that frustrates me is that many DUers think they understand politics and the political process, and I claim to be no expert but I think people especially peopel from bright blue areas don't get that we can't elect a Ted Kennedy to every seat in Congress, and to be honest I wouldn't like it if that was our congress, conformity is awful and its our diversity as it shows up in what people think about issues that makes this country great.
