Malcolm X used to say that any time two people think exactly alike, it is proof that only one of them is thinking. I'm reminded of this when I see some groups of DUers who think just alike, and insist that others are obligated to think just like them.
We are at a serious time in our nation's history. We need to understand the differences between finding common ground, versus being mere cogs in a machine. The 2016 elections -- and surely not just the presidential contest -- are hugely important. People need to be thinking of how far thy are willing to go to bring about needed change .....about what, for example, they are willing to sacrifice and give up. For some, that might mean being asked to give up the knee-jerk insults and attacks on others who simply think differently than they do.
