I think we have to give @Epicenity a lot of credit here. Usually people who have the perspective he has don’t make it very long here. They tend to get a lot of pushback from all directions and usually lose their composure.Democracy is supposed to be messy, full of tension and debate.
That we can have any discussion about anything gives me hope.
