If it is by law than it's some natural unwritten law that says human beings will behave like asses given the slightest opportunity, and that it happens more at the home town level than at the national or global levels, although characters such as Kim Jong Il are the pudding that proves it. It is definitely not as it should be. Not in my estimation anyway. I don't even like those talk shows where the moderator and the guests all get to talking over each other. It is, however, the way it is in most cases. There are always exceptions, pockets of excellence which exist tenaciously in the midst of ignorance and a lot of teeth gnashing, but I've moved around a lot and have tasted local politics in quite a few places and I'm sorry, but it's not pretty. You want to see people at their worst? Go to a sporting event or a town hall meeting. But it's working on those core issues that make us misbehave in most cases, is the only way we are ever going to advance to the next level. Of course I believe it's happening. I see signs of it all around the globe. There is a sea change taking place in human awareness and self-consciousness. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
