There you go, logic and analogy again. What do you expect to gain with that???

Here comes another 'sacrilege' ... heads might explode ...

Ronald Reagan on the importance of political compromise(in his own words)

[Lazamataz]

Norm, since you have not complied and tried to define the terms, allow me: I believe you are using the term 'compromise' with different definitions. I would use the followign term:

• 'Compromise': To mean coming to terms with your opponent in a way that does not involve either party abandoning their core requirement(s), and in a manner in which both sides concede equal amounts of less-important requirements.
• 'Unequal Compromise': To mean coming to terms with your opponent in a way that does not involve either party abandoning their core requirement(s), however, one party makes few or no concessions on their less-important requirements.
• 'Concession': To mean coming to terms with your opponent in a way that involves you abandoning some or all of your core requirement(s) with no similar abandonment by your opponent.
• 'Cooperation': To mean working with someone who might normally be an opponent, against a greater opponent... the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' concept. The WWII Churchill/Stalin analogy would correctly fall in this definition.

Based on these definitions, I bet you agree much more than you disagree.

Prove me wrong. Or right.

Commence.
