arguments and discussions

I have been distracted by our symposium discussions, sometimes about jurisprudence and sometimes just banter. I am finding that Peter stands out in his unique stance on most things, and we have argued extensively on some matters. Mostly I withdraw from the field of battle-not worth fighting over, and I feel so strongly opposed to much of what he espouses. But as Ray and I were talking about tonight, the benefit to all of us is exposure to different points of view. I would like very much to hear more from others as it would balance the comments and dilute the effect of any one position. I enjoy reading others' comments and find I learn something nearly every time. No matter what, I am getting to know my classmates better, and enjoying that most of all.

I wonder why I want to be an attorney if I back away from aggressive arguments. I know I am weary of arguing with someone who so firmly believes things that I find abhorent.
