Do Your Testicles Hurt When You Have A Hernia

Downtown ... What?



While today I prepare to go see "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", I reread the comments I've received in the previous entry, on what is called "center" political.
Let me hit that left part of the comment Ana :
"

Downtown, does it exist? The center is just
space located between the ideologies, the place occupy those defined
apolitical (always right) and who argue that all politicians are alike
. I really do not think any party can be at the center, is
unfeasible. "

few months ago, good friends and I were practicing this habit as sociata dinner with a remarkable game as we do all kinds questions. This "remarkable" (also not so much, what fool) spoke of the PSOE had to find the center. And one of the friends who was at the dinner said:
- Downtown? That does not exist ... or yes because we are all center. Each of us can agree with some ideas that might seem the right, while we are on the left on almost everything. But no we agree on them. If there is a "center" target, we would not be discussing politics. People who say "center" is because he wants exclude others with an objectivity that does not exist. All political views are relative and debatable. "
As you can see, both Ana and my friend felt very similar and I agree with both of them. A premise of democracy is that everyone has the right and at the same time, none. So based on parliaments that are designed to reach agreements (but then there are those who do not want to use for that). That is why the stakeholders, who are citizens, they vote. There is both the center as the ability to reach agreements.
A teacher of mine said that "when socialism becomes" scientific "bad. Because that means that whoever does not agree has to go to an asylum and that is tyranny." The same applies to those who believe in the Divine Right, because the that does not agree is a filthy infidel. Or something nationalists because it disagrees is a traitor.
political ideas are a human construction based on subjective perceptions and projections of what an ideal society and, therefore, questionable and changeable. There is no center. There is the ability to reach agreements without compromising the principles of each. That's what is called being a Democrat.
As Obi Wan Kenobi said, "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." Only the wicked live in a world in black and white.
