Why are we being asked to choose between loving America or fixing it? It’s a false dichotomy, no? It seems to me that if you love America, you will want to fix it. The slogan, then, should read “love it AND fix it,” not “love it OR fix it.” Catch my drift?
GOOD’s slogan, “Love it, Or, Fix it”, is saying if you love america than you’re probably not complaining about it, and you’re probably not looking for a whole lot of change, or repair for that matter; and most likely those people are not evening reading GOOD, so, god bless to them, whoever they might be. however, if you’re one of the large majority of people–in which case I am a part of–who fine themselves complaining about our current state of affairs, or even other issues outside the borders of america, should stop fussing about them, and start ‘fixing’ them. Catch my drift?
Just curious! It seems women are being defined by one issue – roevwade. Whutup with dat???? How in the world did one issue, the abortion debate become the litmus test for how women think, do, or what we care about. Come on media!
