A resounding YES from me! Many people are Catholics but are not the same,
many people are Democrats but are not the same, many people are liberal but
are not the same. We have differences and we have to learn to live with
them. I know that you all are trying to be informative but try to do so
without making others feel bad. I know .... easier said than done. I have
met Kakki and Mary P. who are intelligent and articulate women who I have a
lot of respect for. I respect their veiws and opinions. I have never met
Vince but I enjoyed reading what he had to say also. He has my respect also.
I guess I am donning the peacemaker cap here. Let's keep communicating
without thinking that any one particular person has the last word.
"life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and
even hated but for our qualities" - Bernard Berenson
Best to you all-
