Well I didn't watch the original to what you were referring to; I started out watching geriatric1927 and two or three clicks later landed here. I liked your point on it would be germaine if in political discussions we could all be civil to each other; I think you are right in how divided this country is right now sadly. I love this country very much. Thanks for your video, and reminding me of this fact. You have a great video presence.
Some great sentiments. Too bad a lot of people can't try to be more level head when it comes to politics. The Bush is Satan/Bush is God dichotomy is laughable and disturbing to me.
It would be great if that kind of debate happened. Your goals are definitely challenging. Judging by many of the comments on videos, I'm not sure how terribly rational people are, or whether they want to be.
That said, I am an optimist... I believe there must be SOME way to promote reason in politics (and other areas of public debate for that matter). So I'll be watching! Good luck!
And I thought I was an optimist! This is such a great idea I would happily withdraw my entry in favor of yours. Please spread your message even if Paul doesn't pick you. (I'm not sure his audience is interested in politics, more's the pity!)
I dont like you.......you're weak i hope nobody listens to your insane ideas

It does indeed feel as if the art of conversation is dying.

NOW who could hate someone for such an eloquently expressed proposal? Best of luck and I only wish that more than one could win renetto's prize.

Thanks, phaedress. I will do it either way, but I think it'd be more effective with a wider audience.
I'm off to check out your entry - I'm curious.

That's a great attitude, dick. I'll have to cultivate it for myself.
