We all want to "impose" our views, as in "vote for people we think represent us." You have had that chance with Mr. Bush, presumably. We (some of us here on this thread- not all) don't like where it has gotten the country. If you do, then we disagree- but the evidence of what has happened is manifest. It is quite possible you simply want a different kind of America and a different world than we want, but that does not make what we want "bad". Your ideas are not more objectively good or intelligent than ours are.
You may not like multiculturalism, but some aspects of it are really nice. It's GREAT for people to be bilingual- they make better business people- so it's good to keep your native language as long as you learn English. Other foods, other ways of living, if offered peacefully, as most are in this country, enrich us. "American" culture isn't something in stasis, it's a living breathing thing- and I'm glad of it. I wouldn't want it frozen in to some crystallization of someone's idea of the "perfect" American society- because one size wouldn't fit all.
I'm far left and proud of it- always have been, probably always will be- but many people here are not. I have no idea where the center is, but there seem to be people here on all sides of it- unlike some other threads, where the dominant viewpoint is pretty much the only accepted one. |
