Dear Red States ...

Actually, I think I understand. The idea that "we" organize societies rather than societies being a result of natural interactions is my problem. I sat through some right wing organizing the last time I was in a church and listen to left wing organizing at work. So I guess it is the difference between what I want and what I see. The organizers are always out on the right or left edges and are often destroyers not creators.

Yeah, it seems the extremes, right or left, are the ones most anxious to "organize" every group... make the rules and set the direction/goals.

Dana, that's the broadest definition of politics I've even read.

Maybe it's natural to organize ourselves, taking into account that for every organizer, there's a herd of followers who just want to be organized.

It's the natural course of events.
