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?
