Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

Me% would love it if everyone were able to attend higher education. History gets sugarcoated in grade school. Once you make it to college, you get to learn all the good stuff.

Also, c'mon! Everyone in my community pays at least $10,000.00 a year in taxes but somehow that's not enough to patch up all the holes on the road.

I'll be real with you, in depth WWII history should be taught in high school, as well as political spectrums like dictatorships. Where I'm from, I saw images of concentration camp victims when I was 15, in class. I saw how starved they were in pictures and in videos. Saw the piles of clothes, shoes, tooth fillings, etc. Saw the camps themselves and Hitler speeches that we studied. We were presented the US anti-propaganda film, "Don't Be A Sucker" as well to home in how dangerous dictator cult speeches are.

It did affect me a lot to learn about these things and the harsh reality of human cruelty, but it was also a good lesson to ingrain in us kids. Repeating this is a worse nightmare than being educated about it. I'm always shocked when I meet Americans that got the bare minimum education on WWII with 0 understanding of the how it happened. It's actually shocking.

Yes, exactly. We should do this. All I'm adding is that anyone that goes to higher education...people who can become leaders with a lot of intellectual power....engineers, scientists, etc.... That they should known not to allow their knowledge to be misused for war purposes, for cruelty or for giving a single person the keys to everything.

Maybe the actual solution is not lying to and brainwashing children.

But my brainwashing is the right way! /$
