Do you believe the world would be a better place if your political opponents were dead?

[BjornP]

No, I’m not "ignoring" those, SF. I'm pointing out that same skin tone is irrelevant, and has historically been irrelevant, in the context of race based genocides because the concept of "race" itself works and had worked just fine if two peoples look excatly alike.

You, or I for that matter, may not be able to tell the visual difference between a Pole and a German, but to the Nazis that was the difference between an untermensch and an ubermensch. All it takes to be a member of a race, is for someone to create the classification that puts you in race category A, rather than race category B. Wait half a decade and the classifications change, and you are now race category N.

If every political opponents were dead, I'd be pretty lonely.

No, the world would not be any better. It would be way worse, even if I'm correct in every political question (which I'm probably not).

Removing half of your opponents, would only drive the remaining half to divide and fight against each other too. So you're not going to get rid of political opponents permanently, and you don't want to either, because sometimes they're right.

They'll all disappear eventually... Opponent or friend.

Charles Krauthammer says he has 'only a few weeks left to live'

Charles Krauthammer, the famed conservative columnist, informed readers on Friday that he is confronting an aggressive form of cancer.

"My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live," he wrote.

Krauthammer shared the devastating news in a short, matter-of-fact note on the website of the Washington Post, where he has been a columnist since 1984.

"I leave this life with no regrets," he wrote in the farewell message. "It was a wonderful life -- full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended."

Seek to persuade and approach your opponents with the same dignity you would require they approach you. Seek common ground and remember your shared humanity. Be patient.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need - just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk the corner to the rubble, that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally round the family, pocket full of shells

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

[Speaker to Animals]

Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out dough.
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

[Okeefenokee]

Fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills
And it's waiting for me there

Y’all getting mellow as time advances.
Good on ya.
