Isn’t the bottom line that anyone who is fixated with a single issue or a single obsession or a single objective at a marked disadvantage?
That every individual and especially every politician should hold views that are on a located on the continuum that exists between the two extremes regarding any issue?
That those who do not accept this position are actually not just at a disadvantage but actually probably to at least some degree psychotic?
After all, there are very very few absolute black’s or absolute white’s in nature, and even then what looks like white in one ambient light doesn’t in another.
In my own case I loath Islam with a passion, but even so I do see that it has a place in some societies, just not much of a place in ours!
So it surely is with ideologies such as libertarianism, socialism, capitalism, in fact all the “isms” that make up all the ideologies.
There is no single “ism” that is perfect and just as it is said that if you ever find the perfect church, don’t join it, so if you ever find the perfect “ism” don’t commit fully to it. Instead just take the best out of it to use in the best way that you can.
Thoughts?
