I guess you could underscore god, may be the root of it all, but for arguments sake lets say it isn't.
It's really frustrating for me when smart people can't agree on things or find common ground. I don't think the left really wants big government, because nobody likes paying taxes and certainty don't want to pay more(or can't afford to), unless you are rich. I also don't think the right wants no government because we wouldn't have the military, police officers, firefighters, or infrastructure.
This society equates winning with financial success, and by that logic there are many winners on both sides.
So what do you think is at the heart of the discourse?
France for example, the left and the right has come together to overthrow a higher power. It seems like we are so far from that here, when that is really what needs to happen.
