Knowing each other only through keyboards tends to dehumanize us sometimes, I think. We see the written words, but we don't see the body language. The smirks, the smiles, the raised eyebrows, etc. I understand that through years of knowing each other it may seem like some of us are incapable of being moved by tragedy. But I don't know..... that would be hard to swallow.

There are some differences, to be sure. Some of us here believe in capital punishment..... others don't. Some of us here wouldn't raise an eyebrow at hearing of a terrorist being executed or blown to smithereens. Others say a life is a life. Political differences a a dime a dozen. I still haven't been able to convince Lyle that I'm right regarding gun control. The cultures thread was pretty good and brought out some heartfelt differences.

What it is, I think, is that many of us "shoot from the hip"..... and things usually go downhill from there.
