No Compromise

I am a moderate, and extol the virtues of compromise--if certain preconditions are met:

1. It must be a bargain that is lived outside of institutional-living.
2. It is a deal that must be lived as individuals, no more primary group-living.
3. The opposition must love God, themselves and their neighbors.
4. The opposition must abandon their extreme conditions, including a willingness to give a bit to get a bit, amounting to the opposition only meeting them half way, and that cannot just be a synonym for unconditional surrender.
5. The enemies must have some common ground.
6. Both parties must negotiate in good faith, with a sincere intent to honor and abide by contract settlement reached.
7. The outcome must benefit both parties.
