Yes, yes you do Will.
Matthew, as for me being "manic" there are some issues that yes, I am very passionate about. But I, again, reiterate, I have had IMHO, extremely great debates that may not have changed my view, but made me see areas where compromises could be made, see where the other person comes from and I can thus understand that viewpoint better, and in one or two cases seen holes in my own thinking and had to go back and look at why I believe the way I do on that issue.
My life as a whole is neither left nor right nor in between, my life is based on what I believe to be right or wrong, looking at how my child and grandchildren will live and how I can survive in this world in the best possible way, loved, admired and valued by self and those I respect. That's how I live my life, that's how I choose "my side" for issues.
What's right for others? That's up to them to decide. Maybe when they get answers we can swap ideas and find better ways to live.
