Most folks believe that are are problems, which is all this survey looks at. We mostly agree that things are ***** up. The problems arise when you get into solutions.
For those interested in The Sphere technology and its many uses (US Army, departments of labor, education, human resources, colleges, counselors, business consultants, etc.) a comprehensive response to the "criener" comment below, go to the Coffee Party USA website, scroll down page to video titled: Coffee Party Sphere: The Results, and click on that title. It takes you to secondary page with the posting.
Coffee Party is not a direct competitor with the Tea Party. It certainly is a play off of its name, but the Coffee Party is all inclusive to anybody of any political party or viewpoint that is willing to sit down and have a meaningful discussion about poltical issues. The point is to be civil and find common ground (frankly I feel this is the antithesis to many people that identify themselves as Tea Party affiliates...other than that, no relation)
I am really disappointed with the Coffee Party for giving this Phil Lawson a platform for his pseudoscientific snake oil of a software system and useless visual display of information. The sphere is confusing, misleading, and vague. What little value it does have could be much more easily portrayed using a much simpler chart.
But who were the respondents? It wasn't Tea Party people and Coffee Party people together--those who took the survey were mainly people interested in the Coffee Party--right? So, yes, of course they see things similarly.
Divide and conquer has always been the way of those in power - this sphere shows that we are more similar than we are made out to be. Do you think the media misrepresents us? Since the corporations that own the media are the ones who profit from our attacking one another instead of them, I'd say YES.
