Okay, so here's something interesting ... a Gallup poll about how different people view the media. Funny considering my rant about possible media bias earlier. I do remember learning some Communications theory about this - how we believe things that are close to what we already believe (Lattitude of Acceptance) and disagree with things that are farther away from our Lattitude of Acceptance. The narrower our LOA, the bigger our LOR is...makes sense.

Here's an interesting quote from Ronald Reagan. What I find fascinating is that so many people desire peace but that our perceptions of the ways to attain peace are so wildly different. It seems there are two very broad categories that most of us (loosely) fall into: Those who believe that peace must be attained and maintained via whatever means necessary and those who believe peace can only be achieved by listening, understanding, and a willingness to compromise. I am not passing judgement on either side because there are valid arguments for both. There are no clear answers, no black and white areas. Because the idea of peace is so nebulous, it stands to reason that ideas around ways of achieving peace would also be difficult to come to agreement on.
