"Hate leads to suffering"
I can't for the life of me figure out GD and GDP.

Someone posted a poll asking "the American People are...?"

Some of the responses:

"greedy, lazy, short-sighted, and intentionally ignorant"
"Stupid, uninformed, incurious and way too religious"
"ignorant selfish assholes"
"morons"

We are supposed to be the party of compassion, the party of the voiceless and overlooked masses. Instead, some people seem to think we should be a vehicle for their own personal sense of superiority and an outlet for their anger and hatred.

Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

2. It's just that attitude that got us oustered in the 90's.
That and the compulsive need to force feed our ideals, in the form of political correctness, onto people who had not been properly educated and prepared for it.

It's something many of us need to work on.
