RE: What do You Stand For?
It's all rather sad... I can't help but think it's a reflection of our obsession with winning, rather than progressing. If all your focus is on winning all the time, you're unlikely to cede anything, lest you "lose ground."
Thanks for coming by!
I have to admit that I've been desensitized to it in the last 30 years or so. I was too young to pay much attention to the shutdowns in the '80s, but it was shocking to me when it happened during the '90s. After seeing it happen over and over again after that, though, it's now starting to feel routine.
But yeah, I definitely think its a reflection of dysfunctional priorities - in society and in government.
