[buddhamama]

speaking only for myself
i compromise everyday.
look around: there are citizens without a warm place to sleep, without food in their bellies, no health insurance, elderly working way past retirement age so they can -maybe- buy all their medication this month,hard working people being laid off left and right,civil liberties being destroyed, human rights violations around the world Ignored,War and More Nukes, Defense of Marriage Act,enviromental destruction,etc,etc, and WHY?

Power and Greed.

this isn't the country that is supposed to stand for Liberty and Justice, Democracy and the Will of the People.
this isn't the country i want to live in.
so i do compromise.
it is not going to change in a day, i understand that, but i'm going to keep working at it, that to me implys compromise. BUT once, just once, i'd like to hear,not ridicule or name calling, or the electoral college stuff, but a "yeah, i want that too, and we'll work together to make it happen."
