We all want the same thing, we all want good lives and a stable economy/country, safety, etc. Oh wait, most polititians just want money and power. But I guess you could still say polititians all want the same thing in the end. But the polititians say they want the same things we all want. The difference is, how do they plan on getting there? Just because a set of people all want the same things, doesn't mean their methods of obtaining are of equal merit. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." You can't just say we all want the same thing and give everyone a pat on the back and call it good. It matters what you DO. Von Fugal
