Don't you wish there was a place to exchange ideas? It seems when someone tries from the conservative sides states an idea there closed minded and from the liberal side there yuppies. But if we exchange ideas and are truly open minded, well, we might just accomplish something. My definition on open mindedness --> Accepting all ideas from both sides of the spectrum (liberal to conservative) to (atheism to Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism etc.) One of the core values is Respect. I think we should all respect each other and others ideas. The constitution gives us the right to be free - with some limits of course. But we have the right to free ideas. So, if you wanted to be considered enlightened and opened minded, respect others ideas. Instead of yelling at them, go deeper and see why they have theses ideas. Everyone, even the timid have opinions, ideas and values and everyone should be allowed into the market place. On that note I think I am going to quit while Im ahead.
PS: share your ideas / beliefs on comments. If you ask for mine I'll give them too.
