What a World

Think about it, though. Which group of people...(in general) republicans or democrats...would be most affected by a default?What possible benefit could be gained by playing chicken on a two lane highway?

f what you are suggesting is true, there is little hope for humanity in generalI would almost lean towards original sin...after all, how do we get corrupt?
human nature seems to lean towards selfishnessthus all politicians are selfish and as you say, pansies who wont take a bullet for the teamthe wealthy also appear to be selfish
and I have seen daily examples of selfish poor people as well.

Then the answer is to fix human nature.

What changes would you recommend we make?

Its easy to get all noble and altruistic and suggest that we love one another and slay all selfish and self serving thoughts. Reality, however, suggests that this is easier said than done.I don't try to hurt other people. I just want to make sure that I am taken care of. I have no one to care for me aside from myself. Ironically, I worry too much about what others do. How much they make, and how wealthy they are relative to me...yet I neglect actually taking care of myself.The United States is the same way. The wealthy folks are only worried about their legacy and their heirs. They don't mean to screw up the country. They just don't want to have to be responsible for it. They have their own families. We need to unite as a country. I need to unite as an individual and stop being so schizophrenic.
