The Socialist and The Social Darwinist

The ship called the USS United States, is headed full steam toward an ice berg. The question before us is, is our ship going to hit the ice berg and sink, or are we going to prevent the ship from hitting the iceberg? There are apparently a whole lot of voters in this country, who don't think our ship will hit that ice berg. While there is another group who does believe the ship will hit the ice berg and sink. Who is right? And if the ship does hit the iceberg and does sink, will it matter whether you call yourself a democrat or a republican, a liberal or a conservative? Won't ALL of us, go down with the ship?
