One note about a pet peeve I have…”need” is such an overused word. I need air. I do not need medical insurance, or a free bus pass. Those are things I steal…[/quote]That’s the difference between you and me.
When someone is sick that person needs medical insurance.
When a person must get to work to a job that doesn’t pay much and is located where real estate is expensive, that person does need a bus pass.[/quote]
People also need food and shelter.
The real deifferences lie in what people believe should be provided for them by the rest of the country and what people should provide for themselves and their family.

Participant“lesser of two evils” is something I can’t easily argue with. The only place to go with it is, are we really capable of discerning that from two evils, or is it an excuse to vote how we would anyway? Is it anything different from acceptance of the status quot?
Flu’s point, “limit change as much as possible”, is also interesting( probably why I limit my revolutionary activities to not voting and how I “get and spend”). “Status quot” is also prone to being used for convenience by the current batch of “winners”.
It does seem easy to find examples or “proof” of this idea of the destructiveness of change, over any improvements that come of it. Even in our lifetimes there are many examples,domestically and internationally, from which experience could be drawn to lend support.
A full fledged “non-political” orientation is starting to have more complete appeal to me. I have met many older people who eventually did this and were probably better off for it.It’s less angry and no more powerless than voting in the current system. Of course, if it really caught on that would be a “change”.
