(I've thought I'd add more drama with this title. Exciting
proposition: Good or Evil. Instead of "mostly good or mostly evil."
It's like in Hollywood movies: the Good Guys always win)

Right. You know in the latest Time Magazine comes an article about the
Chicago Mayor, a DEMOCRAT, and how he's taking a TOUGH stand on crime
and failing schools, and guess, what both the LEFT and the RIGHT
attack him for what he's doing. He's NOT taking the easy path his
predecessors took --which got them reelected everytime-- but he says
he's doing whatever is necessary to fix Chicago.
It's similar to NYC, which has managed to clean up the city and create
a sophisticated lifestyle --you may say European-- and it may serve as
a metaphor for America. Again, the mayor --another DEMOCRAT-- is
attacked from the left and the right, which perhaps is the fate of
those who want to fix things up. Democracy is more than bullshit and
whatever people wants to hear.
Now I'd like to hear where the Conservatives has made at least a
similar effort, or all they do is retired behind the safety and
isolation of gated communities?
Well, wake up to reality, people can not live like that. It goes
against human nature.
But that's only my humble yet sophisticated opinion.
