I'm not sure you ever change someone's opinion but in time after they think about what you said, they may be able to understand. Maybe... I'm not sure why we get so locked in our "opinion" that we can't see it from another angle, but we do... I know I do. When I stop and try to understand, or if, then we can discuss the issues.

This is an interesting thread.
