Scott Alexander put it well in Neutral vs. Conservative[1]:

"if you’re against witch-hunts, and you promise to found your own little utopian community where witch-hunts will never happen, your new society will end up consisting of approximately three principled civil libertarians and seven zillion witches."

This piece may be the single most intelligent thing I have read all week (though this perhaps does not speak well of my usual information sources...). :)

I feel like one of the defects in most of our discourse these days (from any position, on any subject) is an almost complete disregard for trying to understand opposing views (and even a lack of concern that ones assumptions about the opposition might not be entirely correct).
