I used to think Republicans/the right-wing/conservatives were very stupid and very bigoted. It's neat how peering behind the curtain has disabused me of that ignorance and cruelty.

Yeppers. FTR has done plenty to expose me to intelligent conservative arguments and perspectives.

BUT
Even the informed voices on either side seem to pull out blinders when it comes to accepting data from the other side, which just halts most progress in its tracks.

When people agree on the facts, whether or not they agree on some grand, ethereal political vision, they tend to find workable solutions.

I guess when people don't want to find any solutions, they can just ignore relevant data and pretend it's not there.
Of course, that's a childish position, but it seems the most prevalent, to me.

It's good to see I'm not the only one.

That's certainly quite common.

I'd be interested in why that is, or at least what proportion of it is not just humans being flawed. What I'm getting at is that I think there are some real issues with statistics and data in a world of so many unknowns that certainty is low.
