All you hear is compromise, bipartisan, work together, just
get something done. But it is all
baloney.
Compromise is a word cover for the winner to say; “I win you
lose, but it doesn’t look like that.”
Compromise is a word for; “Let’s meet half way, not solve
the problem and we can live to fight another day.”
Compromise is a civil word to use in “nice”
conversation.
If there are two ways of doing something, one is better than
the other. So let’s compromise: Take a little of the good and a little of the
bad and see how that works out. It
doesn’t.
Take abortion. Some
think it is morally wrong, some think it is ok.
Give me a compromise. Perhaps we
allow every other mother to abort a child.
This world is based on winners and losers. This is being gradually undermined in the
school system where we do not want the “self esteem” of the child to be damaged
so let’s not keep score.
We say we want our legislators to “play with others
well”. But we don’t, or shouldn’t. Playing well with others results in
compromise, kick the can down the road, allowing the problem to fester not
quite as fast as it was. In the end, the
solution won’t be… a solution
Neither fan of San Francisco or Baltimore will want their team to “play with other well”. They want them to win.
So quit paying well with others and fight for you rpoint of
view. Let the compromise be, may the
best idea win. Much better than watering
down the best idea with a compromise from the bad idea.
