"Can't we all just get along" .....the honest to that is "NO". Sorry to dissapoint all you brotherly love types, but the trueth of the matter is, we all never have, nor will all ever, get along.
There are just too many different and opposing personality types, belief and value systems, temperments, sterotypes, and political affiliations. Its easy enough to subscribe to the "live and let live" philospophy, until some nitwit tries to impose his will on you.
No matter how civilized we believe ourselfs to be, we are going to get our blood boiling when someone is rude to us, mistreats us, lies to us..or lets face it, just cuts us off in traffic. Not to mention when an individual or group, attacks our country, harms our children, or enters our homes without permission.
I tend to think I'm a pretty mellow individual, but I also strongly believe in the Death penalty, the right to protect ourselfs, and a strong national defense. I think it comes down to letting people, and groups, and countires know just how we feel about them. Let them know where they have some leeway and where we draw the line. Talking and negotiating is good, but sometimes action is the only thing some people understand. Say what you mean, and mean what you say..If more people made the ground rules clear, there would a lot less trouble in the world.
I don't think that makes me a hawk...just a realist..
Until latter
