I visited my buddy in San Diego recently. He is a doctor there. Over beers he was ranting about the future of this country based on his encounters with patients. He said that a lot of the people he sees from all walks of life are simply confrontational, argumentative, think they know everything, and think they can do no wrong. He said he feels a big part of his job is just dealing with people's baggage, and not health. He has trouble helping these people because they are so adrift in their own world where they are exemplary and everyone around them, including doctors they went to see, are idiots.

During this conversation we laughed because he was essentially describing the Republican Party and tea party attitude to the T. Attitude, it is what is wrong with America and it's politics.

Remember the whole, do unto others as you would have others do unto you thing? Seems like it was forgotten last century.
