The Problem with America

The worst part about America is that everyone is under the impression that 1) they need to assume a position regarding an issue, 2) that their perspective is more important than anyone else's, 3) their opinion matters in the first place, 4) everyone needs to hear their point of view, 5) the louder they yell and the more they re-hash the same argument to members of an opposing point of view, the more likely those members will see their perspective and that 6) listening is foolish. Because listening equals understanding, so why would any sure-minded American listen to anyone ever, at any time, anywhere or for any reason? Duh.
