The most common American problem today is one of choice. The contemporary American choice is made by someone who is overworked and has little time left over from shopping to really compose a thought on their own.The average American has so much competing for their attention spans they often conclude they may not have the resources to think freely or make educated decisions on their own. When you can’t afford to think, the two-part choice is what you can afford. This cultural cornering goes to the advantage of a select few who offer us polarizing choices: Conservative Right vs. Liberal Left, Minority vs. Majority, Rich vs. Poor, Democrat vs. Republican.Those who choose another path altogether may be marginalized, ignored, antagonized, or find themselves in fights over their choices.
