Let's Agree to Disagree Bradley W Rasch

God knows there is a lot we disagree about. There are cable channels, and even that rare endangered species, the AM radio talk show "personality," that exist to amplify, nurture, and encourage those disagreements. It's as though we have forgotten that we have anything in common with others, and it almost seems as though we have lost sight of the belief that we are all in this together. Now, especially if you are a member of Congress, you can be voted out of office for agreeing with or even listening to an opponent on " the other side of the aisle." Heavens to Betsy, how did we get to this point? Will we ever again respect people that listen? Will we ever again see virtue in " agreeing to disagree," a prerequisite for getting things done? Will compromise always be seen as a weakness, and not strength? Is it better to move forward, or just stand on your principles, and never progress? This book will explore twenty-six areas of disagreement, one for each letter of the alphabet, that we may never reach a consensus on. Hopefully, after reading this book, the reader may find value in agreeing to disagree and moving on, and see that course of action as strength, and not a weakness. This book has three target audiences: 1. The follower of current events with strong beliefs, that would like to " move on," and work towards agreeing to disagree so that can be accomplished. 2. The college student that wants to really explore critical thinking, and maybe impress the heck out of their professor on an essay test. 3. The casual reader that loves to be challenged and seek out information to challenge others.
