Crossing the Political Divide in the Digital Age

It is truly amazing the number of websites out there that are political in nature. The number of Blogs discussing political issues and news is astounding indeed. Yet is all this helping or hurting our nation? Some believe it helps because it provides a voice and refuses to allow any issue to go un-addressed or to be swept under the carpet. This is a good thing in a free society and something that other emerging nations do not have.

Yet, we also find ourselves with a dividing politic with a widening of the gap; a political divide if you will; borrowing the term from the "digital divide" which is quickly being erased. We must not divide ourselves but we do need to bring some common sense to the debate table. Common sense is not that common and if we could use these online political forums then we take some of the created reality gone askew and bring it all back to Earth. A way to discuss and debate the reality of the human endeavor, proof of history and government theory then of course that would be the best for all as we move into the next period.


Myself, well I often write on political events and theory and I am not personally an anti-government individual or one to attack. Yet, there are so many who resort to name calling and comparing this politician or that to Adolph Hitler or some project as similar to NAZI Germany. This needs to stop and mostly I think people need to wake up. I believe governments job is to protect the people and streamline the for the efficiencies of the civilization, not create roadblocks, economically enslave or over rule the people to enjoy their human experience. So, I am pretty cut and dry there. Where are you on such political viewpoints? Do you believe we can make a difference online and promote the common good without degradations into name-calling? Consider this in 2006.
