For far too many issues, there's this "pre-programmed" thread of political bullshit. You start with observation A. Depending on how you look at it, you either head down path B1 or B2. Each of these paths has arguments already defined. You usually end up with calling the other side some version of "asshat" Just wondering if we could break the chain somehow.

Could there be some simple and easy ground rules that short-circuit this dysfunctional behavior?
