My parents both lived through the depression. I think it pretty much defined my mother's politics, actually. On top of that both my parents worked in the public college system- and even though they hated certain aspects of it, their commitment to public education, and their belief in it, was something that never wavered. Since I have lived my life in the shadow of government, and I have had a great life, I'm not about to complain. Is there a more perfect world? Well, the only ones I see that I like are places with even more government than here- I appreciate aspects of Scandinavian governments, but I don't see anything in the anarchic third (or second) world that I think I would enjoy very much. I like the order and stability and gravitas of my big government. Even with all it's faults, even with BUSH, I wouldn't trade it for anywhere, except, perhaps Canada- they have a nice big government too.
