Question of the Day

I have seen many tragedies in my life. I have often seen the reactions to those tragedies. People who were truely were horrified by what they saw. Also I saw people who seemed to enjoy seeing the pain that was caused by the terrible acts. Humans are a varied people. This post deal with what the true nature of man is.

Question: Do people have a deep need for good to exist in the world or do they just want it?

Please post your opinions.

Stubborn

I am writting today about Sen. Lieberman. I know this is old news, but I felt like speaking out on this. Sen. Lieberman lost the primary in his state for the democratic nomination for senator. Instead of bowing out gracefully he pitches a fit, and decides to run as an independent. Now this undermines the entire process. what was the purpose of that primary. If Sen Lieberman is going to run anyway. One of the main problems the Democratic party is having right now is lack of unity. They don't make decision together. Now, don't get me wrong I am all against voting a certain way just because everyone else is. You should vote the way you want on the issues. I am just saying that if the Democrats want to start to regain power in the mid-term elections, stunts like this will not help. The Dems need to work together, have their own personal opinions, but still stand together. If they were to work together they actually have a chance. Sen Lieberman is sending a message to his constituents that he thinks they are stupid, and cannot make their own decisons. They want to go in a differnt directon this term, and he is effectively saying no. Not only does his actions hurt the dems it hurts his image. He appears to a sore loser, a man without integrity, no honor. He lost, he should sit back and take his career in another direction. Run for another office, get ready for the next senate election, or become politically active in other ways. This is a dispicable act on his part. I often didn't agree with Sen. Lieberman on his views on the Iraq war, but I respected his for having the courage to have his own opinion and go against the stauts quo. Now I have lost a lot of respect for Sen. Lieberman.
