good points ubertuber.
i think that in addition to a willingness to compromise we need to avoid demonizing those who we disagree with. when we refuse to understand others points of view or try to paint the opposition as evil we are no longer engaging in a constructive discussion. personally i find this dehumanization of the other side rampant in modern politics (actually i see way to much of it in all circles political or not) and I find it not only distasteful but detrimental to building a strong society (here on TFP or out in the 'real' world). I would urge all of us to be more aware of our 'opponents' (for lack of a better word) human nature, no one here is the enemy.
