There have been opinions very contrary to mine expressed, but a situation of this magnitude does tend to cause an equally large reaction.
i have tried to be open and listen, and rather than disagree, or comment, to simple voice my own opinion, in a neutral way.
i see peoples reactions growning out of there experiences. since we each have unique experiences, each opinion, is valuable. my contributions, i hope, do for others, as their opinions do for me.. give me a glimpse of a different way of thinking, which i can consider, explore, accept or reject.
but just hearing the opinions, even if i ultimately reject the perspective, is valuable.
i do believe the pen is a mighty septor than the sword, the war we must fight, must be one of words, maybe even more than one of arms. this forum, dedicated to words, has a vital part of remaking the world, as a safer, better place.
