Now for Something Different

Let's begin a very short series I have titled "My Thoughts, Opinions, and Philosphies...Among Other Things." Please keep in mind the caveats previously noted. At first we will look at some current sociopolitical issues and eventually we may discuss more mundane topics.


Politics

In the United States, the left and the right appear to be very different, though when compared to the global spectrum of politics, it is evident that both democrats and republicans are very near the center. Very extreme political bodies, and even governments, exist on the global level, which make our own political disputes appear mundane and frivolous.

Although we say the majority rule in this country, why is it that the minorities are those who get all the attention and want all changes made for their benefit? Why should 80 percent of the country have to be subject to laws and regulations beneficial to only the other 20 percent?
