I guess I'm saying wouldn't you rather just be known for those positive things rather than the other shit? Your not exactly playing to a broad audience here.

Could just be where I'm at right now in my life, but conflict seems like a sincere form of misdirection. Why not focus on the things we all have in common?

This thought of singularity creeps into my consciousness as of late more and more. Politics less so. People need to make a couple of base concessions and plug into the big picture (a universal view rather than a world view) before even taking the simplest step forward.

I like people who make concessions. I like people who poke fun at themselves and show vulnerability.. That's not to say I like people who aren't trying.. But long as they are genuinely giving maturity and examined life a fair effort, who cares if we disagree on politics.

Guess I would rather focus on the points we do agree on and try to bridge the gap is all.

No matter what side your on, it's obvious we have a lot of work to do.
