I want to be objective, but it's practically impossible in the current politically polarized atmosphere. I think 'they' are evil. They think 'I' am evil. At least my passion doesn't blind me too much to not see that "they" are as disgusted by 'my' soapbox as 'I' am disgusted by "their" soapbox. Maybe that's a start....or...... maybe it just makes it easier for us to 'dehumanize' each other in preparation for the coming war.

I don't think realization itself does very much, not nearly so much as communication & empathy/sympathy/whateverpathy (except not telepathy or psychopathy). I think we need to not dehumanize people, I think we should not be so dissensious, I think we shouldn't ridicule one another and that we should speak to each other with the intent to understand and to convey understanding. I don't think we have to agree on everything, but that we should at least be able to treat each other respectfully, speaking as humans to humans. And a lot of other things too.

@puck61: 60 years of coddling liberalism has gotten us to this point. We never brought the fight, they did. A time is coming when they will see what real anguish feels like. There is so much illogic one can take before a volcano erupts.
