I think you've hit the nail on the head in your third paragraph; most people are reasonable and in agreement on most things but through our nature, culture or a mix a both, we tend to assume the worst of each other and project the worst on each other at the first opportunity. I know I'm not immune from this reaction. Sadly, this reflexive animosity is really what distracts most of us from harmful legislation and actions. I wish you well :-) Thanks for the discussion - the back and forth is nice and allows one to stake/state their position more eloquently.
