Exactly, there are a few "hot topics" such as abortion and gun control. Where different sets of folks will NEVER agree on. The democrats and the republicans use these hot topics to very evenly divide this country. And in this day and age, where the people and the government have lost the ability to actually debate anything, and everyone resorts to name calling, and calling into evidence that which has not yet been determined as fact.

I believe that there are more than a few things that we can all agree on. Things we all agree are bad, things we all agree we can improve on. Instead of trying to do these things, everyone likes to throw out these 'hot topics' and the game continues, and we get nowhere.
