Doomsday
First, let’s get this out of the way so that my worried wife will rest better tonight. The world will not end before my 30th birthday. The Large Hadron Collider that could potentially destroy the world is offline and will be for two months. So, doomsday has been postponed.
Congrat's!
I hope that King Wulfgar and his wife are doing well after their baby was born on 9/21! Congratulations! Here is a link to his post.
Politics
Last Thursday, I think that in the middle of a spirited debate some feelings may have gotten hurt, and by that I mean that the person I was talking with (King Wulfgar) and I came to the conclusion that we do not see eye to eye on the state of our economy. Now, normally I don’t talk politics for just this reason. But I would like to say a couple things in hopes of mending that broken fence. First, I think that two people should be able to disagree on a subject and still have a spirited debate. Two, I think that two people can and SHOULD agree to disagree when they reach an impasse. Not everyone will agree 100% of the time and that is the whole fundamental purpose of the First Amendment. Third, I shouldn’t have started talking about politics in the first place because religion, politics and the economy are three things that garner most of the ill when debate becomes an argument.
That being said, I will be voting on character and not promises. I think the economy will recover (I don’t know how to run’s the United States economy, but I do know that there is someone in a position higher than me that does and I have to trust that they know what they are doing. What else can I do about it at this point, anyway?) And that is all I have to say about that!
I do hope that King Wulfgar will not mistake our conversation on Thursday for what it actually was: a friendly debate and that I agree to disagree.

No harm done. I know what you meant by "agree to disagree" and I guess I see your point. I just don't like the phrase because it feels like a cop-out to me (for both parties). See, once you agree to disagree, nobody can learn anything else from each other!
ReplyDeleteI think the biggest difference between you and me at this point is that you seem to still trust the morons that got us into this mess in the first place to fix it. I don't. If they were capable, we wouldn't be here in the first place. Sure, I'm not qualified to fix it, but I don't think they are either.
I will be making a very difficult decision to vote between the lesser of two evils and who I really want to vote for and at this point, I have no idea which way that decision will go, so I guess I'm an "undecided" according to our illustrious pollsters. Good thing I have over a month to decide!
