answer:It seems far too simplistic for the range of human relationships, attitudes and sensibilities that exists among thoughtful and reflective people. Then again, those people are getting more and more rare, I suppose. Some of my best friends are political polar opposites. We have great discussions – keeping in mind that we disagree on many things, and sort of agreeing that we don’t have to move into areas of discussion that will polarize us – on current events and policy announcements from the State House or the White House. I’ve got other friends who are both political and sports opposites. They not only approve of New York City politics in general, but they also like New York sports teams. Those people are mostly irredeemable, and yet… still friends. I don’t doubt that for some people – and I’ll bet that we all know some examples – their thoughts and attitudes are so shallow or so one-topic that they can’t see beyond their shallow thoughts or that one topic of disagreement.
