Pick any contentious cultural "norm," and I'd bet we could find literate proponents and opponents of that issue, like yourself. Unfortunately, I'd also bet on a rather large portion of pinheads exhisting that would try to eliminate reasoned discourse through a combination of short-sightedness and selfishness. And I do mean "any."

For me, it's boiling down to "I'm okay, you're okay" these days, and I try to live it. Though I oft wish I could live it so eloquently as you! :)
