I used to agree with you on this but I am beginning to think that it is a wider and more serious issue than I thought.

Extreme views are just that...but extremists are killing people. That is the bottom line.

What do we as a people do about it? We ARE the sages, the aged good thinkers, the seniors, the people with longer lives and more life information... What are we supposed to think?
