Hey folks, keep in mind that politics has been dividing many essentially good people against each other for millenia, and though you may disagree totally with someone's political position it is wise not to allow that to lead you into denigrating their intelligence, their goodness, or their humanity.

If people would focus more on similarities than differences, they would find their wars quite unnecessary. Most unfortunate that it's the differences that seem to catch their attention.

I do not hate George Bush. I just think he's making big mistakes in foreign and domestic policy. If so, he is no doubt doing it because it appears to make sense to him, given his understanding of things. He's a product of his background, just like everybody else.

To get into a mutual hate-fest over political differences (or differences in personal "style") is a foolish endeavour, in my opinion. But...some people feel more energized and alive and righteous when they're REALLY MAD at someone!!! In other words, it feels good to them. :-) Hmmm. Not a rut I want to spend much time in. Too toxic on the system. And it can have unforeseen consequences.
