I still try to be respectful of other views as I certainly don't hold out the expectation everyone thinks the way I do. It's disheartening and..well, downright maddening when you see so many people thinking/voting against their own best interests for whatever reason--misinformation, ignorance, etc.

Recently though...I've found it's hard to argue with someone--or even try to establish some middle ground when they are not arguing from some position of fact. That's when it's nice to have a place to go.
