I did, my parents were always working class democrats. It struck me that alot of my political ideology comes from my childhood and growing up midwest democrat. I thought, wow, all that I know and believe has come from someone else and their ideas about religion, politics, life, anything really has all been conditioned into me directly or indirectly. And I just wondered why we as a people get so opposed to others belief systems when our own were founded upon the ideas of others. It made me feel a bit unoriginal and blokheaded. Why do we hang on so tightly to what we've been conditioned or manipulated to believe in the first place. Why shouldn't it be easy to listen to others and let go ofm our parents stuff and the governements stuff and all that other stuff. Our parents molded who we are, why do we always hang onto that? Why do we continue to fight about poltiics? A truly original move would be to try to understand what, where, why, how, who the other side is saying.
