[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3478240, member: 63706"] I'm hopeful, not necessarily optimistic. It seems to me that some of the ideas being espoused by mainstream conservatives and liberals (as I understand them) are starting to move further from the extremes and more toward a moderate view. This suggests to me that people are waking up to the fact that extreme views on either side are counterproductive. I may be wrong, but those are the trends I'm seeing. For example, when universities students started rioting to prevent conservatives from speaking to conservative groups on campus, the more mainstream liberals in the media seemed to approve of their actions. Now that it's starting to affect more than just conservatives, the liberals are waking up to the fact that these anti-free speech demonstrations are a bad idea. Even Bill Maher is starting to trash them, and that's saying something. I could continue, but I'm trying to keep my posts from being too long to read. [/QUOTE]
