Honesty is a tricky subject and hard to define, and I agree with your statement that, "Anyone who thinks that there are only two sides, and that their side is always right, is VERY dishonest." I truly believe that these people are harming themselves even more than they're harming others.
I think only the very smartest of humanity would find comfort in your testimony that "I have no desire to lead." In Portland, it seems like every individual is either a leader or a follower. I suppose that there are some "get out of the way-ers," but those tend to be the people with the most unpopular views who are simply afraid to speak up. I think we need more "live your own life-rs" in our society - at least in my part of it.

This could not be better said!
