Just kidding of course. I guess I was asking more about stuff where you really can see both sides. Not obvious stuff where you're POV is pretty clearly the correct one. What about anything that's written here at DU, Rex? Like, where two sides are arguing and you can sort of understand both sides (even though you favor your point of view more)?
