Toadman: Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Toadman: I sincerely believe we are headed for a cultural civil war in this country. The more homogeneous our communities become (overly blue, or overly red), the more extreme both views become. It's a feedback loop. We seek others who reinforce our own views...and to maintain "acceptance" in the group, we adopt a slightly stronger view (conservative or liberal), thus increasing the divide, and tearing apart the country along ideological/cultural/and etc.. lines. We've become the country of "those people." More here.

Question: The Huckleberries blogosphere has a pretty diverse crowd for this part of the country. Can you name things that most of us here agree on?
