It strikes me that so much of our so called political dialogue in this country has degenerated to new lows. It seems like the rules changed when I wasn't looking. "If I disagree with your position, then my first response should be to demonize you" is the new rule.
What happened to respectful disagreement? As in, "I listened carefully to your points, I thought about them, and I happen to disagree - but - I still respect you as an individual and I look forward to debating with you again because I might actually learn something from someone as smart as you clearly are."
Where can you go to have that kind of discussion now?
