no the reason that we will never agree is not about knowledge or individual facts that one or the other of us holds - it is that we have basic philosophical differences. we approach the world from different starting points so when we absorb the same information we will focus on different areas and come up with different solutions. this doesn't make one right and the other wrong. it makes us different. the fact that we have different views and the freedom to express them is what has lent america its strength over the last 200 years.
