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?
