I'm in one of those moods tonight in which I realize that even Republicans can be decent human beings. I know. It's hard for, me, too, but I really believe it.
If you try to put yourself in the position of someone with whom you vehemently disagree about virtually everything, you can get a different perspective on their positions. It's especially useful to force yourself to argue his or her position forcefully and rationally.
Nothing in particular brought me to this "insight" (which I experience fairly frequently, just not often enough to let it change my inate skepticism about the value of humankind); it just happens sometimes.
