My impression/memory of riding the demo Susie is the orange was ever so 
slightly darker, a little more rust in it. Which looks spectacular, I think 
you'll love it.

"Without more discussions and debates among common people I do not see how this 
deep polarization and escalating mutual hatred can end."

I tried to address this in an earlier post but it came out - not like I'd hoped 
- so I deleted (it's still in the emails version of this group): Studies (or at 
least one I know I read) show that people who have friends on the opposite end 
of the ideological spectrum tend to soften the most extremist edges of there 
points of view. 

I've found this to be true in my own experience of being pretty tight with a 
few conservatives. For instance 10 years ago I was probably quite absolute 
about 2nd Amendment stuff and just wanted them all confiscated, melted, get em 
outta here. Now I'm more tolerant of the "for protection and hunting" POV, 
although my friends and I probably still differ on how much regulation is 
acceptable. 

I've seen this mellowing on their end, too. It's a product of actually knowing 
a real live person you disagree with instead of carrying a caricature of "those 
libs" or "those cons". You are forced to understand why this person you respect 
and care for comes to their views and sometimes that light goes off, "Right. I 
haven't reached that conclusion, but I see how they did." It's a better way to 
live than this virulent polarized morass the country seems to be in right now. 

IN MY OPINION.
