and an equal number who resort to bullying to make a point. There are those who make incredibly base arguments and those who argue at such a level that is difficult to keep up. We need, above all else, to respect each other ... and that means rising above the negative. Sometimes it is as simple as a slight change of tone. I guess I'm realizing that not everything here has to be a fight. Our biggest problem as a party, is that we do see shades of grey (our greatest asset) ... but sometimes we have to back up a bit and see the big picture. We're so busy arguing the details. We have a relatively common goal that spans the spectrum. That is what we should focus on. I don't know - it's like an impressionist painting ... each dot has importance and effects the whole, but if you stand too close for too long ... you're bound to miss the beauty of what is being created. Move a dot, and the whole picture changes.

I'm regressing, and probably off the subject. I'm just saying in my overly elaborate and tangential way ... that I'm with you. :)
