If you believe this is about one 'side' vs. another, I'm not sure what we gain by having a dialogue, honestly. I'm not coming from 'a side'. I'm not battling some ideological conflict. I'm just reflecting on a reality that I and many others like me experience. Honestly, I am a pragmatist - I am not interested in an ideology or 'side' winning an intellectual battle. Maybe I was in my teens and 20s. But now, it doesn't matter what it is that works, as long as it works. I would simply like to see a system and set of policies and laws that work for most people. That has not happened in the last 40+ years, so we need a new way. I'm open to anyone's ideas, including yours. It's a collaboration, not a conflict.
