In my high school, a public school in a poor community, we had rhetoric, and debate teams that had to defend whatever position was put in front of them, and compete before judges with other schools.
Today, there is no rhetoric and no debate. We refuse to listen to conflicting opinions and grow to hate people who don’t agree with us, no matter how suspect our own positions.
A woman who feels her political opinions can’t be challenged and anyone who disagrees is moronic, walked out of a dinner without excuses or apologies because some others wouldn’t agree with her positions. And she never thanked me for paying for that dinner she left behind.
This is progress?
This is ignorance.
