america is not a bird
/thread
For those without imaginations.. which is quite a few, apparently.. here is what the bird analogy means:
Totalitarian societies do not endure... and that is what you would have with either a left-wing-only or right-wing-only nation.
Understatement of the year.
If America cannot be symbolized by a bird, why does this exist:
There are political philisophies that are just plain flat out wrong. Would you say that 1930's German Nazism is essential as it balances out the less genocidal, less empirialistic segments of the political spectrum? Or that Pol Pot and his murderous regieme had any benefical qualities whatsoever?
Exactly. Opposing ideas, choices. We are better off because of them, and why freedom of speech is so utterly important.

A cute anecdote for the Paul Harvey show, but certainly not an ironclad truism.
