The Way We Are

Insights into human desires I've gained:

I want a government with the latest army, the best infrastructure, and most supportive social systems.
I also want very low taxes.

I want to reduce military spending, as it encourages war.
I also want all our troops out fitted in the latest body armor to protect them.

I want the newest, most cutting edge drugs brought about by drug-company researchers.
I also want those same companies to be mandated for lower prices.

I want freedom for the world.
I also want my country to mind its own business.

I want every one to have freedom.
I also want everyone to be equal.

I want free education.
I also want the highest standards and top notch quality teachers.

I want to be able to do all my shopping in one place.
I also want us to stick up for the little guy.

I want a booming economy.
I also want big business to be weakened, because those guys are doing nothing but exploiting us.

I want freedom from others religious views being preached in the classroom.
I also want my views to be represented in our schools.

I want to have freedom to choose.
I also want to be free of any responsibility.

This is not (entirely) a political tirade on my part, I'm as guilty of most some of these as the next. I just find our behavior ironic. Take schools: philosophy is religion and vice versa, but both sides want their 'philosophy' taught (ID or evolution), but want the other's 'religion' out. It's just sad to me. Mutual exclusion doesn't seem to occur to us when laying our dogmatic beliefs out (and I am intentionally using the first person plural).

Again no point, except people are horrid. Thankfully God loves us anyway and is trying to redeem us.
