When you have key philisophical differences in opinion, it will be like any philosophical discussion, pointless.
I could debate the merit of a flat tax with another conservative in a respectful manner, but how does one debate the merit of flat taxation with someone who thinks wealth needs to be abolished?
One thought is so alien to the other, so bizzar to their world view, that they would be seen as almost insane to have such a view.
And such is where we are.......
And BTW my story is true and really did shock me. It was 1992, and I wasn't used to dealing with the radical left, her comment blindsided me and I won't ever forget it.
