" We do not mean to imply that political issues are unimportant. For many of us, policy affecting health insurance or military engagement or gun control can be the difference between life and death, and we get that. But what we are saying is that as a nation we have made political issues philosophical quicksand in which all of us are drowning. We can resurface by understanding that political issues are one expression of our values, but not the only expression. "
