Just wondering what "compromise" means to a mid-westerner.
Compromise can't really happen until we return to a time before political correctness made it wrong to call someone "crippled" but made it okay to vocally and publicly insult someone for what they believe. Compromise won't happen until we return to the days when public officials had a sense of decorum, and were discreet about their personal lives. Compromise won't ever happen until both sides of the aisle stop calling the other side names, and until they refrain from viewing the other side as less intelligent. No one communicates anymore. No one listens anymore. Even here, in this most casual of forums, participants resort to the basest language and vilest implications, simple because the other side won't bend to their way of viewing the world. It's really just two camps, hunkered down in trenches, lobbing hand grenades over the wire. Occasionally blood is drawn, but nothing more takes place. No peace is declared, no retreat sounded. Sadly, I don't think this is going to change soon, as the moral issues dividing the two parties are so stark. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
