Controversy ?

Scenario, angry, red faced, arm waving people. Both sides claim the God given privilege of being absolutely right, to a tee, no room for compromise. Both sides cannot be right, but neither side will back down nor will it ever admit defeat when slapped in the face with it.

Is this man, personified, or an apelike being ? We see videos of angry mobs storming the seats of power, protesting -- whatever ? All over the world it happens. Civil terrorism ? In the USA right now comes the big battle, still raging and due for more court action yet. But the mobs are there ! So will we be Am-Bushed or Gored? Who knows, what I do think is that partisan politics will grow steadily worse.

Throw out a position on anything, and soon will come the sign carrying somebodies shouting and arguing with whoever dares to utter a word. Abortion, civil rights, discrimination, WHATEVER the question of the moment the clouds drop down this frothing tide of raging people -- each group fanatically paranoid and far from knowing the truth -- either side, but still pushing and shoving.

Doesn't matter the outcome of civil debate, the biased, redfaced mob ignores the facts and intents and concentrates on being agin' whatever it is and when they don't know what what the hoopla is they will ask the nearby sign carrier what it is all about, and then they are automatically agin' the damn people who are on the other side. Probably when they reach home, if they are thinking people, on consideration maybe begin to see the points on the other side and maybe realize that they were carrying the other side's banner.

Even little kids will stop hassling after a time has passed and get down to the serious business of play.

So now I see that maybe all this mob scene, name calling is being Pro-active. Is that synonymous to the word Controversy ? . . . . .
