Hey, if life is a voyage then there is more than one route... seems to me we all make worthwhile contributions without having to agree about everything...
At the risk of appearing partisan, may I draw your attention to

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
