Very interesting rebuttal. I must say I was almost as convinced by the original post! This just made me think: if we can’t agree even on relatively simple topics like this, what hope is there that we will ever agree on most important issues. Disagreement should be an expected constant in all aspects of life, not an undesirable outcome. Even with disagreement, I believe it’s possible to find common ground and do what needs to be done (now I am really far into my tangential point!)
