The night Ben Shapiro was here, I thought how it would have been a good idea to have had a place for public debate -- of the issues. Let the two sides come in and discuss each issue, from LGBT rights to free speech rights to whether Antifa is a violent group.
  Maybe put it on TV, so they know that by being part of the debate, their voices are being heard.
  The NFL Flag Flap was also under discussion this same day, and somewhere during it, I noticed how the NFL players often reached a point of unity and of tolerance for both sides. A wonderful thing. I wonder how you could get that into the debates.
   And, I'm not seeing how. The NFL players are all on the same team. They sought for common ground, and to understand each other because they are teammates, and if you are a teammate, you love your teammate and support him.
   So, you try to understand and empathize with him.
   Not so when you have two sides such as there were at the Ben Shapiro appearance. They (at least a good share of them), come with hatred for each other, and no desire to get along.
   So, however would you get them to pursue common ground? However would you get them to say, "Hey, while we disagree on this, is there anything we can do to get along, anything we can do so both of us are satisfied?"
    I am not coming up with anything, tonight, on how to instill that into a debate setting.
