It's all good so far

Doubling up on entries today. Getting last weeks draft out first then thinking about the second one. I have been watching things going out in that world. It is still apparently a crime to be a public figure that was born and raised in the South instead of one of the upper border states.

We continue to live in two different countries. One with its population dense packed into urban areas that are dependent on the other with its ability to extract and produce goods and materials. The second is wide spread, self sufficient.

One has the media and banking stationed within it. Does this influence the reporting and development? How can it not.

One has decided to live with post Judeo-Christian – secular world, consistently rejecting historic values and beliefs. The other living with feeling that their right to maintain traditional belief based system of values is under attack.

How does one reconcile something that is perceived as a right by some and a sin by others? Civil discourse is unlikely when it is in the interest of the media to fan controversy and fuel sales.

Can a reasonable balance be achieved? It is not likely when political moderates have become an endangered species and the extremes of the parties control their own rank and file.

We used to have the option of immigrating, going somewhere else and setting up a system according to your beliefs, unfortunately we have run out of new places to go. We now have the ability to reach out and meddle with the internal affairs and rights of others in other places.

The ability to continue to communicate and cooperate is essential for civilized survival. Otherwise we will continue to divide and diverge tongue point we have diluted our national strength and end up wobbling into insignificance.
