What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love, and Understanding? |
|
Seriously - why is it so strange to be on a Democratic board, and simply want us to stop our stupid wars?
Why is it so crazy to think that unmanned predator drone bombers are immoral and evil?
Why is it so funny to question American Exceptionalism?
We are not the good guys. We are the bad guys. I feel as if I'm living "Starship Troopers" here people!

4. Yesterday, my sister says we are living in Robert A. Heinlein "Crazy Years" |
|
Back in 1983, the other GOP dark years my depressed son's psychiatrist said that my little family was naive, in that we thought people should care about each other and try their best, but went on to add that that was not a bad thing only somewhat rare.

5. Fortunately, we haven't quite gotten to "If This Goes On." |
|
But we're sure-enough trying.
To address the question the OP poses, I could write a few pages of kitchen-psychology mumbo-jumbo, but I think the bottom line is this: many of us are uncomfortable when confronted with the fact that we do not live up to our professed ideals.

7. Is Peace, Love & Understanding extended to everyone or just those we personally approve of? |
|
You'll never get "the other" to believe you while you're screaming at him and tell him how much you hate him and wish bad things on him because he's not like you.
