Civil discussion and respectful disagreement with one's neighbors is the very essence of what it means to live in a democratic society. When did we become so fearful of discourse? Perhaps we are stuck in this polarized society because everybody is so wary to share one's principles and listen to (and try to understand) their neighbors convictions too. Politics is not evil, close-mindedness is.
