You're right, my socialist friend

Politicians are too busy to discuss the moral theories behind their party choice. That's why I can well say this post is not political but philosophical.

So there is left and there is right. There is red and there is white.
There are roses, there are crosses. Rebellious minds, evil bosses.

Came into town Friday night, too late for shopping. Found some noodles in the cupboard, thought to wait.
Came then Saturday, but soon realized: religious holiday, shops closed till Sunday. Had another portion of noodles.
Came then Sunday, had a walk. Hungry stomach, crying for food. Church bells singing, loud was the noon. Walked around to Lidl - CLOSED, back to downtown, over to the supermarkets - CLOSED. Thought "seems like I'm fasting!", then found a small store, bought some food, the clock was at 2.

Back at home, started thinking: "Whose election campaign was THIS promoting?"
No worker should work on Sunday, said the left - I knew. -A worker has the right to work, said the right - I knew.
Funny, I thought, the stand of parties. Didn't quite match all the ideologies.

If right is the conservative, I thought, why would they want to keep super markets open on Sunday? Shouln't it be the religious people who want the peace and sabbath on Sunday?
Why is the left against Sunday openings? Shouldn't that benefit the low-income students, as I knew on Sunday you get a double income?

Cultivated my thoughts, started getting more crazy. If right promotes individualistic freedom, why more negative towards gays and lesbians than the left? If left wants to promote freedom, then why the need to form unions?

Left and Right, like Day and Night. Logic lacks, Arguments flourish.
