It's too bad that more weren't of similar positions, it's one thing to disagree with a person... It's a whole other matter to act like the Queen of Hearts and just cry out "off with their heads" when they say something that might upset people's sensibilities.
It's been years since I've had the chance to engage in a debate about presidential actions where there was point-counter-point; it's not an issue with disagreement anymore, but closer to where things are so heated that people can watch the same event and draw opposite conclusions about what happened.
Cheers.
It's indeed a shame. I regret that I haven't had a rational discussion in quite some time. It's become so tribal now. Both worldviews are necessary for a rational yet progressive society.
