Things that I am thinking about today beside All war, All the time:
I believe the philosophical question of our time is:
Is there one truth or many truths?
This is the theme underlying in all the rhetoric on both side of the conservative/liberal debate-To Be Continued
Things that make me a hopeful liberal:
- Our constitution- Allows us to hold the government accountable to live up to the stated Ideals. Example: the civil rights movements/legislation.
- The fact that Jessie Venture was elected- proof that your vote does count! ( I did not vote for Jessie, but yesterday it occurred to me that the fact that he was able to be elected is a ray of hope)
Things that make me discouraged liberal:
- Voter turn out: Even if you believe that people only act from self interest, why do the majority of American citizens think that voting has no effect on their lives? (this is a topic I will go into in more detail later)
- The fact that Jessie Venture was elected- proof that it doesn't make that much difference who you vote for AND that the Democratic party in MN continues to run candidates that are members of an "aristocracy" ( I did not vote for Jessie)
- There is not one Democrat running for President who inspires me to feel passionate.
