There is indeed a lot in this post that could be elaborated on and dissected further but the attention span of most, including myself I must admit, is such that I believe you have made the right choice in limiting the expression of your thoughts on the subject. :)
There are so many loaded words in our vocabularies these days that most of us are having to second guess everything we say in public for fear of offending someone or having our positions taken out of context. I don't see things improving any time soon especially with the demise of the use of common language being replaced by text speak and emoticon expressions.
I could go on and on but it has also been a long day for me and looks like being another tomorrow. :)
I hope you and your family are well my friend!
This is why I think we need to look into this stuff as once understood, we may be able to all speak more freely and forgive 'those that trespass' kind of idea as we are sensitive to the person, not just their current held position.
We are well. First birthday coming up on Sunday and a million other things to do. Take care, I hope you got some sleep.
