We, and common ground? Aren’t you commenting, because there is no “we” in this community? I like feel good rhetoric as much as the next person, but I prefer not to get played for a fool. I’d support your efforts, if we can some how not manage to give too much away while we are playing long ball?


IMHO, the key is to willingly give up nothing. If there is common ground it will be used against us at sone point. There is an end game the other side is after……no hunting and no guns in private hands.

It doesn’t matter that there may be apparent common ground in the short or medium term. To the other side, it’s just the thin edge of the wedge. And they do play the long game. Multi-generational.
