If people would just realize that we as the voters all have the same intrests in mind, what's best for Alberta (or the country, or whatever the vote is about) perhaps there could be more constructive progress made in politics. We don't all agree on what's best and what the best ways are to achive the desired results, but that's what's great about democracy. |
Absolutely correct! Talking without listening is the same as screaming in an emtpy room, and accomplishes about the same thing. dissenting opinions are the key ingredient when democracies work (do they?), and it's the only way that we can move ahead.
That is one of the reasons why I do not like the PCs, they do not listen, but I don't want to open that can of worms. All I want to say is that I truly appreciate the concept of "agreeing to disagree" and the eloquent way you stated it was much appreciated.
Glad to have you as part of the Albreta Democratic system, and maybe we can disagree on even more stuff in the future.
Peace,
