I am striking a note or two for ideological diversity.
We live in a polarized, deeply divided nation these days. The polarization is being driven by politicians in Washington, in our state capitals, even at our county courthouses; I’ll give our city halls a pass because almost all of them are non-partisan in nature and the pols we elect to municipal government are ostensibly not driven by partisan political concerns.
I have my bias. Others have theirs. They differ. The folks who hold differing biases are getting pretty darn nasty.
However, all that acknowledged, I do not want everyone to agree with me. I surely don’t want everyone to agree with those who disagree with me. Back to my point about personal agreement. We should live in a nation full of ideological diversity and at the moment, oh brother, we are, um … diversified.
A world where everyone thinks the same — even if they agree with little ol’ me — would be a boring world for certain.
Who wants to be bored to sleep? Not me. I have too much to do!
