In the face of existential notions you tout the political axis? You're gone by...
I'm using the political axis as the basis of my argument not as the begining and end of the subject.
Seems to me that you've created a be all and end all type of situation. One big blanket, really.
Now don't get me wrong! I
do see where you're coming from, I just think it a tad puerile to wantonly throw everything into the umbra of a mere half realized axiom (the political axis in this case) that deals solely with the governmentally political side of things, because realistically individuals on the whole simply cannot be accurately labeled as either liberals or conservatives. It just doesn't work.
And compromise is the single greatest problem solving tool that ever existed.
Interpersonal problems, sure - in the domestic sense - but compromise doesn't really get one what one truly wants. Only verifiable power does that.
Now, refute me. Unless of course you wish to compromise...
Someone's been reading "The Art of War".
Actually
someone's been reading a crappy Stephen King novel through pragmatic eyes.
Fuck the zoo!
Sometimes verifiable power actually does the opposite. It creates problems.
Perhaps more accurately, it sometimes creates
complications. And only then by the less powerful conglomerating in order to stymie and hamper the efforts of the powerful towards their ultimate goals at any given time by forcing the issue of a usually all-encompassing set of laws or some semblance of a generalized commonality being appealed to. Therefore it can be accurately stated that verifiable power is seldom - if ever - used. Rather, it is the implication of what said power could ultimately do that allows the powerful to move forward with their own agendas in the face of communally acceptable behavior. Notwithstanding of course the extenuating circumstances in which verifiable power is sometimes exercised.
I would refer you to the development, subsequent use and stockpiling of nuclear weapons as a perfect example of what I allude to above.
Oftentimes bending like the blade of grass is more beneficial than being rigid like bamboo.
It's only more beneficial because the wind would be more powerful. Bend or crack essentially.
Besides, the grass is intrinsically and quiescently pliable. It doesn't have much say in the matter.
Even the eternal rock compromises with Mother earth....slowly allowing her to reclaim small pieces of it through her forces of nature.
Enough with the Yodaisms already...
