Well done. I'm proud of you, too. And, thank you for a great post. I think the way you went about it was perfect. It's so easy to be hotheaded and we all know that usually doesn't end well. My goal isn't ever to incite violence or confrontation, but to, whether by action or conversation, convey our similarities and interesting differences and perhaps help eliminate at least a little negative bias and broaden thinking.
