Lack of respect is why wars are fought
Not lack of consensus, Lee.
This is a highly charged issue, a personal issue, and, in fact, a matter of faith. I assure you that, no matter how strongly I feel about it, I have no intention ever to send a hit man (or should that be "hit person"?) or letter bomb to people who don't agree with me. Let alone fly airplanes into buildings. Tom, I think, will let me speak for him in this: neither will he.
The exchange of opinion, however heated, absent the exchange of blows is the Third Way, in cases where agreement can't be reached.
If we can't agree, we can still understand, and agree to let each other alone.
