I spent a lot of my time telling my three kids they have to learn to compromise [with each other!], since the alternatives are much, much worse.

Q: What's the plan for reconcilling "very, very different views" if one is not going to compromise?

There is no plan. These things get resolved by some combination of:

1. civil war 2. political power (domination) 3. secession 4. overwhelming economic prosperity

Umm, there would appear to be a fair bit of collateral damage in those first three. Are you sure you're going to end up on the winning side?

Compromise is healthy. Maybe you should reconsider.
