Quote by John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint -- Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate. The fact of the matter is that most of the problems that we now face are technical problems, are administrative problems. They are very sophisticated judgments, which do not lend themselves to the great sort of passionate movements which have stirred this country so often in the past. They deal with questions which are now beyond the comprehension of most men.
Summary
The quote suggests that people are often influenced to adopt a fixed political viewpoint, such as being a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative. However, it argues that many of the issues we face today are not easily solvable through conventional political movements. Instead, these problems require technical and administrative expertise to make complex judgments. Furthermore, these problems are often beyond the understanding of the average individual. The quote emphasizes the need for a more pragmatic approach to address these sophisticated issues rather than relying solely on passionate political movements of the past.
