Good post. Again, honesty is important and some don’t have the desire or capability. I may be wrong about some things but I’m capable of admitting when I am.

I agree with talk show host Dennis Prager when he says he prefers clarity to agreement.

As for myself, I have a small confession to make. In some arguments I have actually...
(drum roll, please)
admitted to making a mistake.

I know, I know. On the internet yet.

I don’t agree with you in probably any way but I can certainly respect your desire to have honest debate.

We both might be surprised at how much we agree on some things, social issues aside. While I'm not a social conservative, I'm very conservative on matters of economics, defense, and foreign affairs. Note that I always put a Heinlein quote in my tagline. (Which reminds me, time to put in a new one)

God bless (occupational hazard).

I always take a heartfelt blessing in the spirit in which it is given. Thank you.

Good old Lazarus Long. I like the description in his wiki entry:

A rugged individualist with a distrust of authority, Lazarus drifts from colony world to colony world, settling down for a few years or a few decades and leaving when things get too regimented for his taste—often just before the angry mob arrives.

I wish I knew what that felt like so I could sympathise, but I don’t, so I can’t
