I will end with this: "Thinks they understand" That will be true for very large numbers of people. Not their fault at all. It simply does not happen that a population all ends up able to sort these kinds of things out. Implying they should is fine in the sense of self improvement, but as policy? Nope. Perhaps it is time we, as concerned people, begin to take much harder look at our national priorities and demand the public interest be far better served than it is today. Having done that, and sadly we are no where close to the basic consensus needed, we will find painful discussions like this one are a lot less frequent. Know what I did not see in this exchange? "Yes! You got there. How can we reach more people and help get past this?" Feels a lot more like, "better late than never, and you need to do much better."
