Politics A useful Division.

      As I usually do I will state the fact I am not a writer but a Mathematician. 

      But I have set by this week and watched friends and people I have known for years go at each other over the political divide and it sickens me. Both sides have massive holes in their theories and could not come to a consensus even if you left them in a room alone for a week. I believe one of the problems is the fact that most have no idea what is really going on other than what they are told on TV News shows. They get their News from Political Pundits and not Honest Investigative reporting. The difference is, political pundits have an agenda and a good investigative reporter is out for the truth. They were suppose to be the people who looked out for all of us. But while in college they are indoctrinated into a culture of division. Now it is not about the truth it is about the Money, Ratings and so on. So what should really happen at this point  is people should do the research themselves. We have at our fingertips everyday the same tools that all reporters use and I truly believe as a people we can form our own opinions and truths.

      I have seen some of my learned colleagues on Facebook and other forums spouting off how they all have it all figured out. But when you look into it they are just parroting the Main Stream News Media. "I guess it makes them feel important the think what they are saying sounds right". Parrots seem to do that, repeat what they are told. 

     The fact that this country has been so successful for so long and has become a symbol of freedom around the world is because the people who founded us as a Nation knew that a people Governed by themselves would flourish and strive to become better at just about everything. That gave people the right to vote on the Laws that Govern us. It in no way states that we can just follow which ever laws we want and just do away with the others. Society set the standard and we should follow it. If you choose that this is not the system you want o follow then move to a country where the laws mean noting. (I have lived in some of those places and I could not wait to come back) 

     My take on this is, maybe before you start attacking people as Racist and other memes, take the time to do the research for yourselves and form your own opinion. The process is very simple and it is really worth the time, and who knows you might find some common ground with people you disagree with.
