[QUOTE="vicious, post: 1975125, member: 3937"] I believe that there has been a level of greed that fueled the complacency for the past 60+ years, and we're reaping the benefits today. I've talked to many people all over the country who see a shift in the idea of "us vs. them". I tend to agree, it's not all that bad, but it's getting worse and not better. We've got a country whose ideals are split so bad it's been compared to the climate of the us in the 1850's. I've talked to people who fear the government is going to come in and take our guns (I don't think we're there yet), and others who fear their own neighbors because they live in a city with high unemployment and crime is on the rise. Me, well it's not all that bad. I'm fat and happy, but I've got a mindful eye. If major changes don't come about in our fundamental way of thinking, eventually this have's vs. have not's war our government and it's populace is fueling will end up on my doorstep. I don't feel to blame for the condition of the country. I am a liberal conservative. I vote. I promote and fight for liberty in my life, and I don't believe that liberty should be taken from anyone regardless of their beliefs. There's too much minding others business in this country, and it really needs to be reeled in. I teach my children the same values, and I try to promote them with my friends if we get on the subject of politics. [/QUOTE]
