True that. i'm not ready to see a benevolent Bob who gently agrees with everyone and shrugs saying "well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, my friend".

Brrrrrrrr...

You know what? That actually got me pissed.

I'm quite keen on some mud-flinging, but I let a "fuck off" pass me by without an equal response in order to not devolve the situation as always happens and try to provoke something unusual. Me! I always ruin everything with vehemence and profanity! And ceasing that for a moment is seen as patronizing!

I was trying to stop a train, I guess.

Qualifying your position and holding it with reasoning you're competent to defend is important.

Exactly. If we can focus on our core, the very thing that shapes all of our decisions, everything will improve. If our methods of policy shaping are solid, we can all respect each other, even if those methods take us to different places. That will help the country more than trying to impale somebody with the end of a party standard ever will.

I think somebody is this close to being solid and then it turns to sand trying to embed itself in my eyes.
