Thanks.

I think...we need to maintain civil discourse (in both senses of the term) between different people.

Realistically, I should just...give up. But I've got just enough hope that I keep trying. (Plus, if people will listen to me, maybe I have a duty to do something. Nor do I want my friends to get mangled by the system.)

And my goals are hopefully humble enough that maybe they'll work. I don't need to make a rose plant into soft moss - I just need enough change that the roseplant doesn't accidentaly slice somebody up.
