Who is Holding that Hammer?

I still cannot conceive, how individuals, basically born the same, raised the same, educated the same, and then become affiliated with a group of people, could, at a time, decide that black is black or white is white, and there is NO gray. How could anyone so possibly agree or disagree with a complex issue that they really know little about, only because of an affiliation with a political party.

I don't know if that all makes sense or not. I have opinions, but I can change them, maybe because I am independent, have looked at both sides, see good and bad on both sides, so I see good and bad.

So, what, or who, has that much control over a body of men and women, to be able to make them say YES or NO, and no middle ground.

A lot of POWER, and only money has that much power. Are BOTH parties, somehow controlled by money, and where does that money come from. If that is the case, and there is one controlling entity at the top, what is their point in dividing them into two groups. Perhaps so that issues become issues.

Maybe that is what makes the world go round .......
