On politics
Just because you're dead wrong on a political issue doesn't mean I hate you. [;-)}>
I've been seeing this on FB a bunch, lately, which paring down of FLs because of political differences. Look, there are right around 3 people on the planet I universally agree with on politics. Everyone else, pick an issue and you will find significant ideological differences. Big whoop.
For fuck's sake, if my Heinlein-style libertarian self can be friends with jblaque, and I am, I fucking love that guy even though there's hardly an issue on the spectrum he's not dead wrong about, because we both acknowledge we're smart and capable people who are not out to overthrow the world, there's hope for all of us.
