They take complex social matters and reduce them to simple black and white ideas.

The foolishness highlighted in both of the #190 postings is the same;
They take complex social matters and reduce them to simple black and white ideas.

Our country needs a mix of capitalism and socialism. We need strong cut throat businesses and free roads and education – it’s a mix, a balancing act. And it needs constant maintenance as the winds of change blow. This is pretty simple, and yet hear the cries of ‘socialism’ like it were bubonic plague, or the boast of being ok if ‘homeless die in the streets’.

Transcend Dualism? But then how would we know who the bad guys are?
Kids, these days . . . . .

I don't believe (and you can correct me if I'm wrong) that infrastructure spending technically falls under "socialism". You aren't transferring money/property from one group to be redistributed, you're collecting $$ and creating structures and services which are available to everyone (some to a greater extent than others).

Life has dealt all of us a bad hand at one time or another myself included. Its how react to those situations that makes us a loving forgiving person or one that goes through life with a chip on our shoulder.

Yes the government does have a roll in our society, infrastructure for example as you stated, things that benefit everyone to some extent. But they cannot and should not be in the buisiness of dictating moral and social actions, other than to keep us safe. Laws and such. It is the kindess and love in our hearts that will fix our homeless and hunger problem.

That hasn't worked any better than the government fixing it! There are a lot of big people in the USA. If there is a hunger problem we need to redistribute the food.
