I agree Don. What we often take for granted concerning openly expressing our thoughts, ideas and concerns will land you in prison, or worse, in other regions of this planet.

While it may not be apparent, I try to understand why someone else's ideology is diametrically the opposite of mine. Sometimes it escapes me because I hold my personal convictions so close to my heart, but at the same time, there is often room to find at least a little bit of common ground. That is a good thing.
