I've been following this debate and the one on the Salish Sea on WCP and was growing rather despondent. Some mistakenly believe that our freedom of speech gives us permission to slander and libel anyone who does not support our position. Some think they can say anything be it merely uncivil, inflammatory or at worst racist or insulting then play the, "that's not what I meant card," and walk away scot free. Some cherry pick rhetoric the way you and I might pick cherries, and never stop to examine whether the cheery is green, ripe or rotten. Others seem so locked into their own perception loops it's as though there in no more room for knowledgeable input. Poor souls all. Personally I don't want to know everything, I do know something's, but mostly I know nothing. ;-) Gordin Warner It's tiresome and boorish.
