...is that we just can't agree.
There are more than, what, 7 billion humans now? I think the ultimate problem to progress is that we simply can't all agree on what the right thing to do is. I guess that's why we elect people to figure out ways to decide what the right answer is for all of us. But a lot of the time, the problem with that is that those people responsible for deciding what's best also decide they have the power to decide what's best in private, and sometimes they also end up deciding they deserve more than what they legally earn, so they cut themselves a little bit off the top, without the rest of us knowing.. Sometimes corporations get so big they can throw money at these people we trust, and those people will vote in that corporations interest, and not American citizens. Usually that ends up bad for us and good for some greedy fuck whose already hoarding millions of would be meals for starving people.
So yeah... Even on RIU I bet we couldn't agree on the SIMPLEST of things! Like how to end poverty or racism, or how to educated the masses, or how to end homelessness... There are less than a few thousand active members, why would anybody realistically think any organization could handle such matters with insane numbers like +300 million?

. You can still feel that and see it everywhere today.I remember clicking through the channels on tv a couple weeks ago and the olympics were on..it was some random shit like mens water polo czech repub vs paraguay..and even though I know little about the sport or those countries..you feel that natural impulse to choose one side to like and one to dislike..you feel happy when one team scores and see the others as cheaters and assholes. Thats why the best political tool is to excite the base of whichever party by casting a negative shadow on the opposing party by making them seem.."different" and "not like you".
