I've been watching some of the protest speakers.
I agree with their right to protest; they are peaceful about it. Can't say though that I agree with some of the issues. Most of them, actually I disagree with.
It made me think that in a democratic and free country it is impossible to unite the country when people have attitudes like the protesters.
Suppose you asked them what they want. They tell you. Then you tell them you understand BUT there's a whole other group of people who DON'T want that and they have rights equal to yours. So what would you suggest is a fair compromise?
Do you think any of them would have an answer?
I think when differences of opinion reach a boiling point as they appear to have done across the U.S. the only rule to apply is 'He who pays the piper calls the tune". The taxpayers pay the piper. So wouldn't it be fair to put it to the voters and let majority rule? What other way is there?
I think protesters should get together a delegation to voice their concerns to the proper authorities, demand a meeting/hearing and air their complaints face to face with Trump or whomever is qualified to speak for him. Trump said, 'All people will be heard' so let them be heard. But make it clear to them that they are not the only ones who have demands and ask what they suggest would be fair to all.
There is a group who thinks rights and leniency has gone too far and want it stopped. There is another group who thinks that what they want is right and they are entitled. Who's qualified to say what's right? Every time you give more rights to this group you take away a right from another group. There's the problem.
The concerns I heard the protesters speaking about were issues that are already covered by law or by the Constitution. Some things they are demanding seem to be issues that government shouldn't likely be legislating.
Your thoughts?
