Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    I'm wondering if the AC meant Huffington Post (or am I too getting the name wrong?). I kind of sympathize with his general point and I think a lot of people are sick of the Republican/right vs. Democrat/left charade and fake debate. Neither does it matter if anyone or everyone thinks they're all on the right (because right is bad and they're all big government racist fascists I mean look at their history [wikipedia.org]) or all on the left (because left is bad and they're all big government racist fascists I mean look at their history [wikipedia.org]), it makes no difference.

    One has to stop ideology (it's a circus of vampires). One has to stop putting everything in one great big bag or sausage where the vast majority of people don't get any power to debate and decide among the nearly infinite possibilities on each specific issue.

    And most "issues" aren't and shouldn't be political at all: like leaving people the hell alone even if you don't like or agree with whatever. Those are cultural and social issues and ultimately politics doesn't help but only makes it worse.
