I started this in another thread and as I was typing and moving I realized that this made a good thread and possible discussion point.... so instead of threadjacking I opened this thread.....

Both appeal to the hate, anger, envy crowd..... because hate, anger, envy is a tremendous driving force... people, and this is unfortunately a human characteristic, react faster and with more zeal when they "hate" than when they love. It is far easier t get someone to hate than it is to get them to "love" or even "like" an idea. It is far easier to control a mind that is negative than it is to control one that is positive.

Both parties are built on hate, anger and envy..... Because both parties know THAT is what drives the independent voters to vote. It is what keep the pro life/ pro choice people in line.... it is what keeps Dems hating GOP and Vice Versa......

I believe that both parties try to sell positive messages wrapped up with very negative undertones.

Fear, hated, envy, angst, anger, jealousy.... again are all far better motivators than love, contentment and overall a good sense of well being.

How do we get out of this rut...... do we want to.... Isn't it hatred and the negative that has eventually inspired all changes in government from the beginning of time?

So why break that now? Why work to get a global consciousness now to focus on positive changes instead?

And is that even possible.... Are we so ingrained with negativity that we cannot find love... and if one side does become truly uplifting and positive do they end up losing because those programmed with negativity end up destroying those positive influences before they can truly get anywhere?

Hitler, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Attila, Stalin and so on have had far far more power than positive influences such as Lincoln, JFK, MLK Jr, FDR and so on... in fact the list there shows that we maybe headed in a better direction as the positive names are far more closer to us than they negatives.

The negatives were destroyed in turn by negatives such as fear, envy, hatred.... they were not defeated by the positive emotions.

Or own country was built and founded on hated and fear of the British. We defeated Hitler by hating and fearing him, we defeated the Stalinistic USSR by hating and fearing them....

What happens if we turn all this negativity into positive energy to better the world? And can we?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
