Something for consideration

How can one man's opinion sum up anything this serious? Are you saying that the other side has nothing of value to say?

Take off the blinders please.

These are not simple problems and the only thing accomplished by labeling everyone who disagrees with you is to illuminate a startling lack of knowledge.

I thought this tactic ended once we left elementary school but I see several here as well as many others using this in arguments. Got no facts, then label them somehow with some disparraging remark.

C'mon Mike, there are 2 sides here and if you truly want to have a conversation respond to the other side with thoughts and ideas.

I thought you were smarter.
