155. truth is indispensable, but
Edited on Sun Apr-02-06 08:16 PM by Land Shark
the paradox is that the solution to getting out of THIS great dilemma requires relativism, or suspension of ideological warfare, in order to focus on the more fundamental problem.

I AM SAYING that a non-partisan approach is better, but the paradox is that lecturing or demanding such an approach can just add a third or a fourth or a twentieth "camp" of "ideologues" in the blindfolded train lurching towards hell.

We need a peace treaty approach to obtain the nonpartisanship. It can not be demanded or even advocated in the usual way. I am not evaluating whether you Wilms are succeeding or failing in this regard, but at the same time, I'm just trying to make this dynamic clear and I also think there's little or no risk in maximizing the peace treaty approach.
