most of the posters here have found the way to respectfully agree to disagree - even in the political forum!

many here have very strong opinions, such as yourself, and have found a way to be accepting of others who share equally strong opinions. for we all realize that without differing opinions we may never learn from others. and that learning has often led to even stronger friendships - without a compromise in intellectual integrity - because we simply accept that there are differing opinions, beliefs, ethics, etc that add to the wonderful diversity of the villages, totv and afternoon respite at crispers.
