I really like this idea of cjartists:

I'm not sure what position you're advocating. Are you suggesting that because we can't make everything perfect all at once we shouldn't try tofix anything?

Were some of the posters here expecting a statement like:
"I'm against All Evil."

OK: "I'm against All Evil."

But nothing everything can be changed at once. (D'uh).

And not everyone is going to "behave correctly."

So in the real world people do one thing at a time. Also in the real world people don't do everything, don't make 'perfect' worlds.

Another problem: Folks don't agree on what's perfect. Some folks think nuking Iran would be perfect; others think nuking Israel is a good ...

Some think nuking anybody is a bad idea.


P.S. > Ending prison for victimless crimes would be a good thing to do (I understand this is one of the good things U.S. President-elect intends to do)

Some people don't seem to get or like the idea that you can Help or Hinder. With Obama I've noticed a lot of post that jump all over him -- and it's not even based on facts since he hasn't even started the job...but often on their own illusions and speculations.

When folks just focus on what they don't like -- well, that just could be where their spirit and emotions like to be: critical all the time.

Sometimes folks are always critical because they just have another agenda.

But being critical all the time or looking for the one spot where you disagree doesn't do anybody any good (not even yourself).

In politics, like in life, the best thing you can do is move forward one good step at a time (whatever you think that good step is). So if you can do or help one, two, three, four or five things...but not change items six, seven or eight.

Well? Help out, advocate, work for the 1-2-3-4-5 cool or good thing. Or you just stay in an unimproved present time and condition.

It depends on what you really want to do.
