'Divide and Conquer' Isn't Just a Phrase...
Does the phrase 'Divide and conquer' mean anything to you? Does it at least sound familiar? I thought as much. When you think about it, what comes to mind? A strategy used by monarchs and presidents alike in the past, but do you still see its effects in modern society. You might not notice it, or might not think of it too much, but we are divided in so many ways, that I can hardly count them. We fight like cats and dogs now more than ever, but why? Why is it so hard for us to get along, make a compromise and meet in the middle. It can be easy, if the right person is in power, but that's not the case in America's society. I have yet to see someone who perfectly listens to both sides of an argument and THEN makes a statement/law. I usually see people who lean more on one side than the other, and that shouldn't be the case at all. Maybe it's just me, but a leader should NOT be biased.

We are losing our ability to love
There is no doubt that we are living through a massive attack on personal liberty. For many, this reversal from granting rights to taking away rights signifies the end of democracy as we know it and possibly the start of a sort of fascism. For others, this marks a return to normal, where rights are mostly for the mainstream and where those who are different need to keep their differences private and not expect to exercise then publicly at will.
