Couldn't agree more^^^

 

I can agree with this.


Fear is a major driving force in America.  For both the Republicans and Democrats.


Democrats use fear of shootings to try to ban guns outright, whereas Republicans use fear of having their guns taken away to stop any gun control laws from going into effect at all.  They'll cite statistics about cities where guns are banned, but ignore the fact that those areas aren't an island.


How about Ebola?  And Terrorism.  Fear of Terrorism led both parties to enact the Patriot Act a major violation of civil liberties.


We have a culture driven much by fear.  Fear of the Government going too far.  Fear of the Government not going far enough.  Fear of whatever is out there.
