Democratic Versus Conservative Conversation

Sitting in Starbucks listening to a conversation between an older man
who is a democratic voter and a 40 something man who is a capitalist
debate. The younger man continually interrupts the older man pushing,
pointing and acting like he is right. The older man cannot even talk.

This younger man was talking earlier about a scenario regarding his
daughter and what she should be doing on his terms, not her terms.
This is how these conservative people operate they force their views
on others without even opening their ears to what they are hearing.

If you have not been in a situation and walked in someone else's shoe's
you have no business telling them what to do or insinuating why they
are not working. People have no idea what is really going on in someone
else's life unless they have experienced every step they have walked.

The older man was continually being attacked by this younger man
who it turns out to be a hall of fame football player. So this man has the
philosophy that it takes might and fight to get around and through in
this big world. He needs to pushed and held down to feel poverty.

Sometimes when you have never been knocked down and put there
you have no idea how it feels. If you have always been an achiever,
strived and pushed to excel and win that is how you think you get
through life. Running people over to get what you want at all costs.

These same people they are running over, stepping on and causing
pain to are the ones on welfare. Because they have been oppressed
and suppressed for so long. Life is not always fair and I believe people
truly do like to work and be productive human beings.

I have experienced what it is like to be at the bottom and not by
choice. I was dealing with someone terrorizing my life and causing a
great deal of destruction. Until you truly have walked in anothers
shoes that is in poverty shut your mouth and start helping them.
