You Say I Say

He wrote down his ideas So that the whole world could see He held them with conviction Creating controversy There were different opinions Each person expressed their own An exchange of ideas Without casting any stones I stood on opposite ground I said I didn't agree We didn't have to be the same To remain in harmony Like voices in a choir Each one unique sings its part If all of them were the same The song would lack so much heart We agree to disagree Neither of us play pretend We don't take it personal After all we are both friends

Yes, I worded that wrong! Sometimes when I'm excited my fingers go a lot faster than my brain (my bad).

Wow again... I can see very clearly what lead up to these thoughts. I'm amazed at how many nails you hit on the head with this one. Having different opinions is way worse a crime than playing pretend... amen! Geez, Rick... (by the way which name do you prefer, Rick or Richard?)... you are quickly filling up my favorites list!

Rick is good. I think you meant playing pretend is far worse a crime tahn expressing your opinion. Expressing opinions while losing sight of peoples feeling can also be a crime. I think you seem to balance both well.
