Thanks, roachboy.
Here's how I see it.
I've been able to move progressively, constructively, and positively engaged in creative evolution with many folks who hold opinions contrary to mine - with you, for example. I think I'm a more valuable person and citizen as a result. This sort of thing is my way of acting locally to enable a global vision which we both may share - as you indicated above that you do.
I've incorporated many points of praxis regarding the study of history and of our collective destiny from your points of view. I've altered some of my positions as a result - without relinquishing my sense of the necessity of maintaining some tension in order to maintain integrity in the whole system. I think this allows us to move forward toward what is in both of our best interests as well as toward the betterment of the interest of all.
In fact, I hope most folks here have a sense of the ability to constructively engage the opposition so that, at the end of the day, we all feel as if we have made progress toward some underlying mutually held goals.
