Until everyone is willing to listen to each other and have a willingness of intellectual curiosity....I don't see much change.
Also need to keep an open mind to the fact media and social media companies are attempting to generate revenue by sensationalizing emotional issues to get emotional responses. They knows what works.
The idea of protesting someone's different viewpoint at Universities and Safe Spaces which allow for discrimination...what are we teaching kids? Run away or don't listen? This isn't progress when you have to buffer people because your so sensitive to a viewpoint.

There are going to be the occasional issues where the vast majority of people agree. But to even get 90% to agree on something is rare.
But that's the great thing about this country, you can be one of those other 10% who just don't agree, and you're free to speak your mind, even if you make no sense.
If God controls the land and disease,
Keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
My problem is I can't see
Well who would want to be
Who would want to be such a control freak?

Billboard on I-40 asking 'liberals' to leave Texas goes viral | KVII (http://abc7amarillo.com/news/local/billboard-on-i-40-asking-liberals-to-leave-texas-goes-viral)
Type of thing that generally does nobody any good and segregates ideas. This is the type of thinking that worries me

Say someone I strongly disagree with on multiple levels of about everything, Bernie Sanders. There is a need for him as a voice of dissent against me for this thing called murica to work. I respect and recognize that his ideas matter. I think most would agree but just don't actually respect or practice this thinking in the long run.
Plus I like Bernie’s hair and delivery, even though he is a communist

God must have one hell of a sense of humor, or he’s just plain evil
I thought this when I had my third and final child and like the first two it was a girl!:banghead:
