Helluva good idea. Blind hog finds acorn?

Bowser — 9/9/2004 4:25:52 AM (archived)

Thinking about this brings both areas of agreement and disagreement to mind. Off the top of my head:

I think we agree very often on the goal, but not the means. For instance, we all agree Saddam was a badguy and the world is better off without him.

I think we all agree, except for Techie, that healthcare for everyone is a good idea. We disagree on how that could be accomplished. (He has posted it's bad for some people.)

I think we all agree that terrorism by all people, uniformed, in mufti, or rags, should be stopped. Again, how is the issue.

We don't all agree that nukes are bad, we don't all agree that Human Rights are good. We don't all agree that every vote should be counted, and a basic disagreement is whether ends justify any and all means available.

Great subject, though. I'll be interested in what others have to say.

  - Bowser's got it. Lot of commonality on ends, not so much on means. - Tom Brosz - 9/9/2004 6:15:17 AM
