Chapter 006 - 2013.01.19
I've got few friends who I'm comfortable discussing politics with.
But I have this one friend -
who I always considered a pretty great moderate -
when it comes to politics.
He's from New Jersey,
so I will refer to him as MNJF -
My NJ Friend.
About this chapter date in my history -
I could not locate the exact discussion -
he and I got to the point where we were discussing -
best models.
The discussion reached a pivotal point -
when I learned from MNJF -
that he was a staunch capitalist.
Then after I went on a bit of a tirade -
about how capitalism was destroying our planet -
he stopped our discussions.
This was a very eye-opening moment for me.
The one person,
I looked to logical discussion was now gone.
MNJF could not or would not consider alternative possibility -
that did not include capitalism.
If he could not go there -
then could anybody?
