Well said!! Without dissent, we become stale and possibly wrong.

As for Bright's comment "Shut your mouth", you have to know Bright. In person you would know she was being sassy and funny. This is a woman that would far rather hug you than be rude to you. She is generous, funny and kind. We all tease each other so much. I can see her throwing her hip out and perching a hand on it and saucily saying "Girl, shut your mouth" to me in reply to something I had said to her.
