vol_scouter Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Gern and OGE make some good points. For most of us the world is rather clear cut as young people but becomes more grey with each passing year. We have passionate arguments over conservative versus liberal approaches and unfettered capitalism versus socialism or communism. I have been fortunate to see some of the world and will probably see more of it in the future with my position. I am well educated with a BS, MS, MD, and PhD. Yet, the world seems to be less clear as I age. I am a conservative with many liberal friends. We disagree greatly on the way to solve our countries' problems but we agree on fundamental things: We wish to be able to be free to raise our children and provide a reasonable life for our children. We want peace and security. All wish that their children will have a 'better' life and will be able to find peace and happiness. We wish that our fellow man also can find peace and happiness as well as some prosperity. As we argue about the direction of our country, I feel certain that sitting around a campfire late at night watching the embers die talking in person to our fellow arguers here, that we would have more in common than in difference. May our country and us do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
