Sometimes I muse that one of the biggest problems with our world today is the death of compromise. Looking at the last few generations of Americans, particularly since WWII, there seems to be a growth of "winner takes all, anything else is complete failure" attitude. One can see it in sports, business and government. Never settle, never compromise, never give up. I am right and everybody else is wrong and by god I am going to get my way. One might wonder if there is anybody today who could work out the kind of compromises that where required when our Constitution was originally written, or would those who did not get what they wanted just have sued everybody else to try and get their way? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:322751 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
