LH,

Well said. The need to divide the world into black and white (for whatever motive - noble or not) makes resolution of the conflict harder and harder. When the media defines the issue as an "either/or" proposition, few take the time to argue that there are valid "on the other hands" to be be considered.

Clearly we all have our "bottom lines" but there is a lot of room to negotiate just how strongly we feel about something. Or argue whether it's a real issue at all. Or accept the possibiliyy that all our points of view may be wrong.

Almost total agreement except that best evidence is that "recovered memories" seem to fall into the realm of pseudoscience.

Regards

John
