But, when it comes to politics, we hold certain things ideal and dear to our hearts. And any opposition to that is usually met with gruff hostility.
I'd probably less inclined to hearing out the other side if I hadn't been on the debate team for two years back in high school. I only did it because I had a sweet English teacher who was really persistant about having me join. I did it my junior year, and was captain of the team my senior year. Debate was fun, but it also helped me to learn to really decipher the opposing argument, and even to step outside of my position and look at things from the opposing point of view too. Politics is like a never ending wage for power, and both factions spend more time trying to beat the other down rather than actually collaberating on actual proposing policies that could actually solve the problem. Also, each policy proposed will help one set of people, and hurt those that fall outside of its specifications. So, I'm really just under the impression that no policy is perfect policy. Anywhooo! WE STILL GOT FOOTBALL!!!
I do not wish to review my post for a third time. I can feel tears in my eyes starting to well.
Playoffs? Playoffs? Don't talk to me about Playoffs! I'm just trying to win a game! Playoffs?
