Yes, I do agree, and that applys to both sides of the issue as
well the our discussions of it. Much of the opposition to the
issue in this forum could be characterized by your description as
an attempt to "scoff and insult". The facts are getting lost in
the shuffle. As you said, "education and enlightment is not
about screaming that (something) is wrong but exploring all
aspects of what is said".
