He who will not reason, is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not, is a slave.
- Sir William Drummond
I don't find these times particularly charged politically. I find them to be mentally challenged. Most partisan behavior isn't about politics. It's about sloppy thinking patterns.
I'm without a doubt a partisan person, but I've built my partisanship on reason, honest assessment of facts, and a willingness to change in the face of new evidence. Most partisan behavior is built on emotion and myth, and therefore not open to change. |
