Well, I have blue eyes and brown hair...just kidding. Why am I here? It really is simple. I have a set of political/philosophical beliefs that may be the polar opposite of yours. Despite our differences, I could probably learn a few things here, and quite possibly you may be able to learn a few things from me. If I have discussions only with folks who share the exact same mindset as me I am simply reinforcing an existing system of beliefs. No learning or perspective sharing actually takes place. That is why civil discussion with another person whose philosophy is different is a good thing. You should encourage a few conservatives to join a discussion. It would definately liven things up a bit and perhaps both parties could learn something. Thats the problem with today's politics (on both sides). One party will absolutely not listen to the other. And that is no good, in my opinion.

What do you think?

And by the way, my comment about the "unemployables" was out of line. My apologies.
