No mocking, a lot of your points are valid. I enjoy discussion. I do not try to influence others, I'm not an evangelist. I'm just Me, a simple woman. I happen to have had some life experiences and some education that lead me to where I am now. A lot of things I enjoy you might not. That's what makes us all special in our own way. Some people like the country, some the city. Rational discussion, and friendly conversation make a much more pleasant world, helps us to understand one another and to appreciate our diversity. Understanding and acceptance of others can bridge the gaps between people. I understand we have things in common, that's good enough for me. Great place to start freindships.
