I live directly across the river from this plant in Laughlin. I'm looking at it right now. It does give off alot of pollution. I wish there could have come up with a compromise.
The basic political (as in Aristotle's "man is the political animal") question is who gets what they want and who doesn't. Lenin's statement of this reality is rendered in English "Who...Whom?"
Compromise is based on love. If you would just as soon the other party dies there is no love. If there is no love between the parties then there is only power, only dominance and submission.
