I never see racism in my daily conduction of business. We employ all
sorts of diverse ethnic people. Nobody even thinks about it.

Oh it's out there Dave, it's just not as bad or prevalent as it was.

No argument. But the fact that's it's disappeared from the workplace
in my conduction of business, certainly means that it's not as bad as
it used to be, or that some people think it is.


Well I'm sure it's still active in some area's and probably
outright too. But overall, in major city and urban area's
it's not the case.

Well sure. Some people also hide it better. But it appears that we're
heading in the right direction.

Dave. Both sides of the spectrum play the game, Demo's
play that side a little harder. Liberals & conservatives keep
the country from swinging one way or the other politically.

It's true that both sides have their respective agendas, but core
conservative beliefs tend to lean toward those of personal
responsibility, less government intrusion in our lives, and the
maximization of capitalism. This is a great system for the Donald
Trump types in the world with type "A" personalities, who are
go-getters, and will make a buck any way they can. It's no so great
for those who aren't motivated to do what needs to be done to get
ahead in life.

Liberals are "the great protectors". They are the ones who want to use
the government to do what individual charity already does, only extend
it. The more you offer aid and comfort to people who are otherwise
able bodied, the less incentive they have to work on their own. And
the less they value what they achieve.


Well as it's been said, those are your beliefs, more power to you.
I personally believe without both sides, if one party has total
power over the other, it would be an ugly thing.

Yes, it would. If, for no other reason, having two diametrically
opposed political ideologies provides perspective. I doubt is there is
a single person who is either 100% liberal or conservative. Most of us
pick and choose certain parts of each "a la carte" to add to their own
beliefs. The majority of those determines our overall slant.
