looking at politics today, apparently there's no honor in working together. today we laud loudest those those who stick to their guns and stand up for what they believe in. which *is* good stuff! you should stand your ground for your beliefs. but you should also know when to step back a little. i don't see how refusing to ever compromise is commendable.
today we'd rather shut down the government than give a little.
j: this is why democracy does not work. you can never have the executive and legislative on the same page. they're just blocking each other from doing anything.
me: well, i think we used to be better at working together. [insert basically the first paragraph of this post] you hear it all the time "i am who i am." ...fuck you. that's immature and stupid.
j: de. mo. cra. cy. in action. all this stand up for yourself. civil rights. it's counterproductive.
me: i don't know that stubbornnes is the cornerstone of democracy.
j: it's the cornerstone of old white men
