Let’s be clear on something…
There is no virtue inherent in compromise, of itself. The virtue if a compromise contains any at all, depends utterly on what values are being given up, versus what may be gained by such compromise. In other words for there to be a virtue in a compromise, the outcome of that compromise must be a net gain.
Think now…. We have arrived here we are now as a country and as a people by means of by compromise.with people who don’t give a damn about either.
What to know why we are now so divided as a country? It’s because we have been victim for far too long to ill advised compromises…. and at least half the people see that point quite clearly.
