All those who say liberals are idiots, are correct. All those who say conservatives are stupid, are correct. Those who say Republicans are corrupt are correct, as are those who claim the Democrats are as well. Whatever the claim about whatever issue, ideology, cause, person, group or concept, are always correct. No one is ever wrong.
All ideas are based on some theory or assumption. We used to experiment, discuss and try to DISPROVE such ideas, before accepting them as fact. We are no longer required to do so. Every idea must be accepted as correct immediately. Discussion of the merits or demerits of an idea or concept are no longer required. Now, we only have to defend it, by attacking everyone else.
Now that we know that everyone is correct, no one can be wrong, which leaves us with no recourse for finding common ground. With 300,000,000 million people, all who have some ideas, all of which are correct, and few are in common with anyone else, we have - chaos. For people, with differing views, to come to a consensus - someone is going to have to be wrong, at least a little bit. To compromise means to admit wrongness and that cannot be allowed. Admitting that some idea, or portion thereof, is wrong, is to admit total defeat. Agreeing with someone else, for the sake of "common purpose", is to surrender to a superior idea, making you wrong.
It does not seem to occur to anyone - to change their minds about something - because that would require admitting that they were wrong to begin with. Todays society will not allow anyone to be wrong. Oh, the OTHER person is always wrong, to be sure, but WE are never wrong. Admitting that WE are wrong, about anything - means the other person wins and that cannot be allowed. We never lose, unless it's a war then we ALWAYS lose, but we were correct the whole time.

No we are not deep down at least, idiots or stupid.
We are just average people who have found our little corner of the world. It takes so much of our time & effort for the most part to just get by.
It is hard to see if rocking the boat will really help. So we just try to steady the boat & row around in circles.
I would say that most of us here have our day to day affairs in a some what secure way.
If we can not take a chance & look at what needs to be done.
We all seem to agree that things need to be done. It is just that we don't look at the problems in the same way.
I don't have to worry much about day to day problems.
I also feel that other than we are just getting older we don't really have much to worry about.
After all for as much time as some of us spend here if it was important to shore up our personal life's we would be out doing that.
Bottom line if it were to come right down to it what is bad for any of us would be bad for most of us.
Conversely what would be good for any of us would be good for most of us.
