This whole discussion, or indeed almost any political argument, would be very funny if I could see it as merely a game of words. But you are arguing about what we should do in the real world, and that makes it scary.
People on both sides seem to take facts out of context, over-interpret, and get so emotional…believe me, I know. I used to think like that. It’s only from reading the other side that you come to realize your thinking was just as flawed, and that, ultimately, it’s all just empty rhetoric. Or, to use the vernacular, it’s all bullshit.
No one has complete and unbiased information, and every Administration must therefore suffer from ignorance. So must we all suffer from biases we could not help inheriting. The best you can do is try to be open-minded, but for some people, an ideology has become their identity, and they will attack every idea that threatens it. I made that mistake too.
Shouts of rage rarely convince, and they sure don’t foster intelligent debate. Whadda ya say we try using our indoor voices?
