This is not likely to improve as long as differences between them continue to be cast in overly simplistic terms, such as \"ignorance\" vs. \"enlightened awareness\" or \"morality\" vs. \"reprobate immorality.\" Such dichotomies ignore the fact that many citizens who disagree politically nonetheless share a desire to work for the larger good of society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhil Neisser, a self-described \"left-wing atheist,\" first met Jacob Hess, a social conservative, at the 2008 proceedings of the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation. After discovering a shared commitment to cross-party dialogue, they embarked together on a yearlong attempt to practice what they preached. In this book they share the result by exploring the boundaries of core disagreements about morality, power, gender roles, sexuality, race, big government, big business, and big media. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter revolves around an issue explored in depth through back-and-forth, lively question and response. This nuanced, iterative process was transformative for both authors, and could likewise serve as a valuable resource for anyone--liberal or conservative--who feels disillusioned by today's often shallow, demagogic public discourse. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Potomac Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612344614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.31w x 1.06d","brand":"Phil Neisser, Jacob Hess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40941663027381,"sku":"9781612344614","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e9d60f95-9555-47d9-9048-78abc1421fd0.jpg?v=1630993711","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/youre-not-as-crazy-as-i-thought-but-youre-still-wrong-conversations-between-a-die-hard-liberal-and-a-devoted-conservative-9781612344614","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
