I don't like discussing politics....people can get really ugly discussing politics. It seems your political affiliations become part of your character....or is it your character that make up your political affiliations? With this being an election year, I've tried to stay abreast with some of the issues being discussed. (Mainly the health care issue) I've been trying to conceptualize what it means to be considered "LEFT vs RIGHT" (High School Government was so long ago!)  I came across this image on another website...Visual learners unite!! I think this is my favorite visualization/summary of politics in general. Some conclusions and thoughts I have  in regards to politics:


1. I think It's okay to have left and right views on different situations...it's okay to not be completely RIGHT/LEFT
2. I have a difficult time understanding the "laissez faire" attitude towards businesses and individualism but then the "let's intervene" attitude when it comes to who a person wants to marry?...(sorry Right-ees) 
3.  Politicians have a way of making things sound a whole lot better than what they really are...they're like...Political-used-car-salesmen...I definitely appreciate a genuine politician.
4. Is it ever going to be possible to truly separate church and state?
5. Staying informed and doing your own research is probably one of the most beneficial things you can do when it comes to politics...
6. I'm friends with democrats and republicans...we don't discuss it though lol


Peace,love,&happiness ;-)
