Silly, silly politics 0 cmts

Liberals will always want to change everything for a variety of reasons. Their approach is folly, they would fail in the same way that a sterile mutant would.

Conservatives will always want to keep everything exactly as it is, for a variety of reasons. Their approach is folly, they would fail in the same way a dinosaur would.

The true path doesn’t exist. As much as people believe otherwise, the only way a cell/person/community/nation/planet can survive is by keeping them in balance, always on the knife edge. Too liberal, and things are shaken so much that all the wisdom of the past is lost. Too conservative, and all wisdom that might be gained is ignored. The only way to success is balance. And the only way to balance is to have both sides constantly duking it out for whatever idea they believe is best.

FLAME ON!
