Wow. This post and thread is deep. I have to say that seeing intelligent arguments for and against this post is awesome. It's healthy to have polarizing beliefs and debates. It's what we need as a society to grow. Having said that the responses that are derogatory really do show a lack of intelligence and humanity. Just because you have a firm belief in a certain form of government in no way means you are correct. Furthermore if your county has a form of government it does not mean it's right. There is always room for progress. And we need to look out ideas TOGETHER and utilize the strengths of each of these strategies. I find it sickening that all I see is division. We need to be united. Not just the US but globally. Peace. I'm out.
