Can We Agree to Disagree

I wonder if it is possible that we as a nation can ever grow together when we can’t even agree on the most basic and important issue facing us. “The purpose of government.” From my perspective the government is here to protect us from criminal activity, to help us achieve an equality of opportunity and the chance for an individual to develop to the fullest potential he is capable of achieving by providing free public education for all. It seems that the Democrats believe that the primary function is to take care of us from conception until burial and to shield us from anything that might harm our psyche.

If you had to make a choice in life would you rather be a sewer or a sewer? I suppose it all comes down to whether you prefer to stick needles into things or listen to the sound of running water.
