I'm sure we can find SOMETHING to disagree about at great length. Let me think- I hate Hemingway I love taking beautiful roads when I have no idea where they go (although with gas prices so high I feel a little guilty about scenic drives now) I dislike eating meat- but have a hard time being a strict vegetarian I think it's important to do random acts of kindness I always make faces back to children who make faces at me- I'm sort of addicted to peek a boo- I love kids- kids of all ages, and the kids inside adults- which you can still see if you look I hate anchovies and fishing- I have a really hard time with a sport that catches an animal through the mouth with a hook I dislike boxing and other bloodsports I have a problem with movies which rely on cruelty as "entertainment"- I know it's supposed to be cathartic, but it bothers me I am against strict gun control- because I want to be armed against the government but I don't want crazy people to have free access to guns I like the welfare state- although I'd prefer it didn't go bankrupt I don't want to live in a country where people can fall as far as there is to fall or where children go hungry or without medical care because their parents aren't up to snuff I love people as a group but sometimes find individual specimens unbearably annoying- especially people who are cruel for no apparent reason (I'm sure they have one, but when it's not apparent it's just hard to feel compassion) Anything there you can disagree with :-)?
