If my recent discussions with various posters about gun control are any indication, political hatred in this country is irreconcilable and the disagreement is insurmountable. I genuinely want the violence to end. I don't want to hate anyone if I can help it. But there are those who cannot get past their hatred of someone else because of their politics, and I appear to be one of them. In the end, though, all I want are solutions, not someone else hating me for who I vote for or flat out hating me in general. Why do we call ourselves "united" if we can never unite on issues of importance?
It makes me feel bad when I get consumed by this hatred. It leaves a pit in my stomach when I drive someone away with foolish, misguided hatred. So now, I want to apologize to anyone I may have lied about or put down because I let that hatred consume me. I promise to do better in the future. This particular olive branch is offered to XponentialChaos. Because I did let my consummate political hatred push me into being deceptive. I have let political hatred consume me and I wish I hadn't. The very thing I hate I have become. So I will invoke a mea culpa of my own accord. What good are we if we can't be civil and truthful when discussing issues so important to us?
It was a few years into my membership here that I decided that admitting one's mistakes and when one was wrong was better than trying to cover it with more lies, and yet here I am neglecting everything I've learned over the better part of a decade. Also, Coyote I apologize to you as well. I know I was out of line with you in a few discussions lately. I know there are plenty of other people on here I may have done this to.
Politics is full of irreconcilable hatred, and I regret coming into contact with it. But here we are. From here on, I promise to be a better statesman and approach my debates more honorably in the future. I refuse to be an agent in further political division in this country. If I can, I will fight division instead of causing it. Once again, I am sorry for being so mean spirited lately, I never was raised that way.
Be well all of you, and see you all out there in the forums.
