...those to whom a bloodthirsty ferocity and combativeness comes naturally can't seem to find respect for those to whom it doesn't...and vice versa!

I don't know LH - Why is that?

You are both disgusted with one another's lack of good sense, decency, humanity, and responsibility.

I can't recall saying I was disgusted with anyone - it appears to me to be the exact opposite - we are all showing good sense, sticking to our beliefs, haven't really called anyone names, are deeply vested in upholding our version of humanity - i.e. retaining life if at all possible - and are being responsible through our public expression of our belief. If no one talks about it how do we share perspective?

This bloodthirsty thing is really wierd - where does that come from??
