...og fra eks wrestlere hører man ofte sannheten. Jesse Ventura om det amerikanske politiske system hos Larry king:
"What you have today is like walking into the grocery store and you go to the soft drink department, and there is only Pepsi and Coke. Those are the two you get to choose from. There is no Mountain Dew, no Root Beer, no Orange. They're both Colas; one is slightly sweeter than the other, depending on which side of the aisle you are on."
I intervju med Newsmax:
"In pro wrestling, out in front of the people, we make it look like we all hate each other and want to beat the crap out of each other, and that's how we get your money, [and get you to] come down and buy tickets. They're the same thing. Out in front of the public and the cameras, they hate each other, are going to beat the crap out of each other, but behind the scenes they're all going to dinner, cutting deals. And [they're] doing what we did, too — laughing all the way to the bank. And that to me is what you have today, in today's political world, with these two parties."
Og det er sannheten i de fleste demokratier. Amerikanerne har bare perfeksjonert det bedre enn andre.
Tør du være uenig med denne mannen?:

En ikke helt ueffen beskrivelse.
Som jeg pleier å si: det burde ha vært langt større sann uenighet i verden.
Ja, man burde tørre å være uenige.
Men i tillegg burde man også innse at det ikke alltid finnes fasitsvar, og at forskjellige mennesker ønsker forskjellige ting.
Et samfunn som gir rom for slik diversifikasjon er alltid bedre enn et monokulturellt samfunn.
Faktisk så må jeg også innrømme at jeg hadde dine tanker om sann uenighet i tankene når jeg skrev dette.
