Half of the American people showed no respect for themselves and

the other half, as

well.

I disagree. Respect is a personal thing, not a group thing. I

respect

the people
who voted for Bush honestly because they voted honestly. Likewise I
respect the
people who voted against him. Respecting the people who voted is not
the same as
respecting the person they voted for. Some of my best friends voted

for

Bush, others
voted against him. That's their chocie.

I find it hard to respect someone who can respect someone who voted
Bush.

Perhaps I over-value respect.

Whatever. I respect honest choices and I tend to respect people who
vote. I think they made a huge mistake but then they think I did so
I can live with that. I see no virtue or value in hating or despising
half of the population in the country.


I can if it induces healthy dissent which appears to be aggressively
discouraged in the USA at the moment.



I don't see it as discouraged. Ignored yes. There are a bunch who
would like it to be discouraged but, fortunately, they are mostly
ignored as well.

From what I can ascertain, people are somewhat slotted into Repub or
Democrat baskets.

i.e., if you are anti Bush, you are a democrat. If you want good
public healthcare, you're a democrat. If you are a patriot, you are
pro-whoeverhappenstobeinpower.

Does it get beyond that level of debate, or is it usually boiled down
to that? The polls and election results would indicate so.
