Well you are certainly not alone.

We are in good company, I think.

I suggest, by the way, you stop 'fighting', altogether. And, instead, just become open and curios, then you can find out which one is which, like the 'rest of us'.

Sounds like a good idea.

Some time people say, 'Sounds like a good idea', but never actually do absolutely any thing to find out if it is an actual good idea, or not.

I think it would be a good idea for you to stop responding to everything I say. But maybe that's just my opinion. What do you think?

Asking 'me' a question, just after what you said and wrote, here, could be classed as rather hypocritical of you, could it not?

Also, do you really believe that 'I' respond to every thing 'you' say?

Okay, thank you for answering and clarify, it really is rather refreshing, here.

You're welcome. Thank you for the compliment.

Random thought of the day:

Sometimes taking sides comes down to deciding which hypocrite to root for.

This, another reason why I never take "sides". That, and the Fact, there are no actual "sides", in Life, to 'take'.

Do you not take your side in disagreements?

I do not have a 'side'. Instead, I listen to what every one has to say.

Also, there are no actual 'sides', in Life, anyway. Except, of course, those imagined ones that you human beings conjure up, and Wrongly believe exist.

So how long is our country going to be ruled by people who think it is "stealing" for the government to tax the wealthy in order to have social programs to help the poor? When can we get back to creating a better society? We didn't have a perfect society before Trump and company came into power, but it was more ethical than the blatant unfettered greed we have now.

Everyone should know their place. Mine is an asylum.
