Fear factor of concern in politics, society

As I am given to mainstream media diatribes I am at a standstill as to where public ideals might rightly make their domain. This comes on the heels of reported “news” of supposed urgent issues meant to sway public opinion. Royal wedding? How indulgent.

What concerns me directly in both politcal and social concerns is the fear factor. Hurtful and thoughtless responses to misinterpreted ideals need only to pause and find the common ground. Bickering is left to those who chose that arena. To motivate an adherent resolve in any issue only requests patience by my reasoning. Reactionary impulses only mar what we are truly seeking.
