Let's try sumthin' new.
You and me, in this place, represent archetypes.
You: the best of the communitarian impulse.
Me: the worst of the libertarian impulse.
You're maximized security, common weal, and stability.
I'm maximized autonomy, self-direction, and agency.
It's no wonder we hate each other's guts.
We have no common ground.
In a real sense, we're aliens to one another.
You see me as unprincipled anarchic force.
I see you as smothering death caul.
This isn't gonna change.
So: I propose the following...
As we can, we leave each other be; where we can't, we attempt civility and discussion.
Nuthin' good comes from our current approaches to one another, and mebbe nuthin' good will come from what I suggest, but it's worth a shot, yeah?
