Amendment Proposals

I enjoyed listening to everyone's amendment proposals in class today. I thought there were a lot of good ideas. There were even some proposals that I didn't think I would want to vote for, but everyone made really good arguments. Class today made me realize how diverse the citizens of this country really are. Everyone had different ideas that were important to them and even those that had similar amendments had different arguments for their proposals. It's interesting listening to other people's points of views because it lets me look at issues in a totally different way. I think that too many people in this country only see things one way and that is why it is hard to get this accomplished. For example, I know people that will only vote for democrats or only vote for republicans no matter what the position is for or what views that person has. I think that if people were a little more open-minded then we wouldn't have as much negative politics.
