Corporation or government could be both right or wrong

There are and there will always be two opposing views to solving problems.

The divide is down the middle between those who trust in a governmental answer and others who believe in a corporate remedy. This is not accidental; it is destined by nature.

This division is displayed how we confront the challenges that besiege this country. Political rivals propose answers germinated by their inherent temperament and learned security or insecurity.

What comes of the biological schizophrenia is either faith in governments or corporations.

Corporations, which manufacture the market-profit-motive solution, are run by the CEO and are responsible to the board and shareholders. Governments are accountable to the people, are managed by our elected representatives and enforced by law and ruled by regulations.

For every issue, the two camps have contradictory solutions. The consistency of the differences is so predictable it seems predestined. It is as if on cue one will say, yes, the other will reflexively say, no, regardless of the question.

A political problem, like any distress has a biochemical beginning. If there is no tension, there is no problem. The ultimate tension for mankind is survival.

There are two means of staying alive. One is survival of self; the other is survival of the species. They are different in their thoughts, feelings, actions, hormones and cerebral hemispheres.

That is why there is a government/corporation answer to every question. One is the survival of species; the other is survival of self.

Today in America there is too much power and influence vested in (corporations/government). No matter what (c/g) do/does (g/c) can do it better. Take health care for example.

If we had more (c/g) involvement we could have a fair and equitable system. Our system is broken because of too much (g/c) involvement.

In other national challenges it is the same cerebral divide. The current Great Recession was the direct result of (g/c) malfeasance.

If the (c/g) had just been given more authority we wouldn't have had the crisis in the first place. It will be the direct action of (c/g) that will pull us out of this deep and wide crevasse.

We trust the motives of (c/g) more than (g/c). The moral response to the individual is best handled by (g/c). Leaders in (c/g) are more ethical than in (g/c).
