All the members of Congress should be part of the NFL. I watched two warring factions–management and the referees–hold onto their stubborn stands for awhile. Finally, both sides realized that they were causing hardship, turmoil, financial woes, potential harm to the game and all people involved with it, and unpopularity toward themselves. They saw that the people were upset, believing that both sides were pig-headed and unreasonable.
Sort of like what goes on and on and on in our nation’s legislature.
But unlike our warring lawmakers, the NFL and referees came to a settlement. They met in the middle. It wasn’t a compromise of values (listen up, Dems and Reps) but a realization that reasonable people will disagree, and all views must be taken into consideration if the greater good for the people is to be achieved.
If our lawmakers were part of the NFL, then, I’d hope they’d be dragged into a state of reason–or be benched if they didn’t cooperate.
