		<description>It would be a better place if we could look for final results that would provide a benifit for the majority and consider other and the future. We become focused on individual pet peeves that become a rigid stands that are a fanatical response to a indiviual issue. It is a extremely egostical self center person, but actually a very insecure person, that their way is the only right way. You don&#039;t have to debate issues and to understand them, just don&#039;t listen to what what other have to say. There a lot of modern world that require you to think and change with new knowledge. Rigid beliefs are can be fragile when confronted with new facts or understandings. Hanging on to beliefs is also not having to make a decision, where one is responsible for that decision. Compromise is the way that society will work best for most of the people. Discussion, empanthy and a open mind is what we need to bring to the government.</description>
