The Unlubed Left


Perhaps it's short-sighted of me me in a patriarchal culture to fret too much over my emotions and the feelings of those I work with; however, I am not convinced that quality work can be done without our emotional lives being fed. Conservative politics excelled because they addressed peoples emotional lives through church groups, fraternal orders, and business leagues. The Left has abjectly failed in creating emotionally supportive, need based structures and in doing so has often touted the importance of efficiency and neglected feelings. Doing so has cost us our ability to move forward--the left is like an rusty bicycle chain--unlubed, loud, and unproductive.
