Thursday Thoughts

I think that extremism in any form makes it easier to dehumanize.

I think it is never necessary to deride one thing because you like another.

I think it is never necessary to uplift something you like beyond it's reasonable value as something you like, just because you like it.

I think that a person doesn't have to be made into the demonic representation of all that is evil, just because his opinion is different than yours.

I think that if a person dislikes something or someone, he should be honest with himself about why he dislikes the something or the someone.

I think that disagreement with a course of action doesn't make the path wrong.  I think it simply means you'd prefer a different course of action.

I think that snide remarks may make one feel superior in the short term, but they don't accomplish anything of significance in the long term.

I think that "uncompromising values" might be a good philosophy for a beer company like Coors, but I think that digging in your heels and refusing to examine new information and facts is irresponsible in government.

I think that if I'm legally and rightfully occupying a space, you have no right to expect me to let you shove me out of your way just because that's what you want.  I think you should go around, wait for me to move, or ask me politely if you can be in the same space or get past me.  And I think that if I ask you to wait for me to finish what I'm doing, then you can respect that and patiently wait your damn turn.

I think that's probably more than enough thinking for today.  I'll have my CAKE now.
