In Kathleen Parkers article, "Seeking Balance in an Either-Or World," she talks about how it is difficult to find a comfortable place to land your thoughts and writing. In saying this it is hard for many people to find the middle. Most times you are forced to pick a side. Due to the fact that many people want a straight forward answer. People don't want you to beat around the bush with them. In the end she goes onto say that the middle or independent group is beginning to grow and become stronger. This group is growing because many people do not agree political and social views.
She uses abortion to help back up her thoughts about people not agreeing with the way the government wants things done. Many see abortion as murder but the government doesn’t back that up. They try to make it a safer and better procedure. I think she could have come up with some more examples to help get this point across because this is a touchy subject for many. She does touch on the fact that we teach high school students how to use a condom so therefore we should be able to work out the pros and cons of aborton.
I believe Parker when she says that we need a middle and that many people are looking for the middle. These people have started to make there own decisions without focusing on what the groups have to say. She also talks about John P. Avlon's book and that he believes that there is a balance between realism and idealism. I do agree that ther is an idependent nation grow as we speak right.
Parker has some very good points in her artical and for the most part I agree with many of them. She did an overall good job trying to get her point across to her readers and it was very easy to follow what she was saying. I do wish she would have come up with a few more examples though.
