Important things.
But a thought, while I'm here...
Wouldn't it be nice if people said things like, "I think I understand what you mean, but have you thought about [alternate viewpoint]..." when they disagreed with someone?
If reaching a consensus or a mutual resolution was the desired goal of a debate, instead of ramrodding one point of view down the other person's throat?
If it were more important to be together than to be "right?"
I'm not claiming moral superiority here. I'm just calling for peace, love and understanding. There's nothing funny about it, you know. Elvis Costello told me so.
