My point entirely, except Im neither for nor against.
We each learn from being involved on both sides of the coin, befor we
can ultimately see the coin for what it is. A platform to self
awareness.

Not only are these terms a great moral presumption, they are also a call
to "collective" thinking of the worst sort.

practice than ideology.
