This essay is definitely worth a read. Invest the time and really read it and then post a comment telling me what you think. I think that this idea, or something close, may well become the political philosophy for the Democratic party for the foreseeable future.
I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him.
Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.

On every other Friday, our company buys the messengers dinner and we often have Mad Pizza. I like it but it doesn't like me. It seems to go in mad and come out even angrier.
