Everyone has a philosophy. In the end it just comes down to personal preference- whether you dress that up with invisible friends, or philosophers you like, or whatever, in the end, there is no way to "prove" who has the right way to live. That's the problem, really We have people in this country who want totally different things out of life, and there's no way to give everyone what they want and there's no way to "prove" to conservatives that liberalism is the way, any more than you can "prove" to a person who likes vanilla ice cream that chocolate is better. That's why I quit talking to conservatives. I don't like them and their ideas. They don't like me and my ideas. Neither one of us will ever convince the other. I don't happen to think either side is "wise"- we just want different ways of life (I know, you think ours is "better", they think theirs is "better"- but I think we all just want what we want. And I'm not really interested in trying to dress that pig up so it looks like anything other than a pig.)
