It's been a while since I have posted anything. Usually just read and follow along with others. I realize that Ogallala Debates has become a vent page. I read posts written by folks that I know are really good people, although I don't agree with your politics, just as you don't agree with mine. I must zero in on this thought. I know that if I was walking down the street and in great danger, these same people who are hitting me and others with derogatory insults and slander for being a Trump supporter would also help me out. They would not check my party affiliation first.

 I keep reminding myself of this. I watched a video of two big bull elks competing against each other until they locked horns and could not get apart. They died that way. Which one won? Fighting words bring on fighting words. Somewhere in those fighting words are real people who are afraid, angry and often hurt. On both sides. Because that is where the answer lies. Nobody has the whole picture and the whole truth. When we start thinking we do, we become just like those we fight against.
