While you and I agree about the goals -- Environmental, health and social justice :-) I think sometimes you sound quite authoritarian and black/white dualistic in your views. For example men/women. smart/stupid. Republican/Democrat etc. I see many genders and diversity of political opinions within those many genders -- with factors like religion, race and class that can't be ignored. I see a huge political component in the construct of race leading to the sad history of prejudices. On smart vs. dumb I feel its is impossible to measure "intelligence" without a colossal amount of bias. Everyone has a gift and some of the brightest people do not go to a university. We tend to value math and engineering (or profit) over creativity and the immeasurable generally. All have a role to play in progress. On Republicans and Democrats - duality is in the definition (truism?) I think it is more instructive to view political differences as three dimensional - individuals have highly nuanced opinions and its NOT once-size-fits-all. Other than dogmatic extremists, most people I meet do not fit into silos. I've never met a dogmatic moderate. For me, that makes meeting new people much more fun and interesting.
