There are two subjects that as children we are taught to avoid talking about in open forums as adults. Those topics are politics and religion. Because so many people have differing opinions about the multifaceted philosophies and theologies of these two independent subjects they are considered taboo to discuss in public. The debates and arguments surrounding the person beliefs and traditions of the two subjects continue to fuel wars and heated discussions between people that believe their views are the only correct views and their opinions are always right.
Most people are unwilling to open their minds to the viewpoints and beliefs of others and would rather brood over their one sided view of how things should be than accept that another's point of view might hold validity.
In political circles the debates over how to resolve differences of opinion are often tabled in public policy meetings where sides argue over the cause and effect of issues and only on occasion discuss how to best resolve situations that require political interference. Political forums bring together charged people that are so blinded to the opposition that they will rarely if ever see eye to eye on any subject that is up for political debate.
It seems that the only way to effectively resolve arguments inside the political arena is to stack the votes of the two major opposing forces with people that are decidedly in favor of one solution. The political process allows every American citizen the right to vote for representatives that have similar opinions or follow similar lines of thinking as they do and to support the incumbents or candidates that best fit their way of life and belief systems. By loading the political battleground with like minded politicians the ability to pass bills and legislation can be accomplished through a majority vote on the issues and questions that fuel the debates.
