Unfortunatly, for some, if the opinion is different from their own, they can't deal with it. Politics is one of those subjects that sometimes we have to "agree to disagree". Why can't we just discuss the issues and leave it at that? If we can listen and not be judgemental, we might actually learn something.

The first group is made up of those who protect things. The second group is made up of those who protect ideas. Or more simply put, the have's and the have-not's. I have to admit that it's far easier to join in with the first group because appearances are so important in this day and age and there is so much more company. But to be a part of the latter group is to acknowledge that there are more important things than the "stuff" we possess, and that those more important things are difficult to name, let alone understand. And for me this is the road less travelled, the harder choice, but the one that determines for me whether my life is to be serene or intense; quiet or confused.
