How great that there are groups such as AA and SR that bring all these perspectives together.

Well said Michael66,
I certainly agree. There is no black and white in my concerns, simply a desire to have civility that will push the program forward. I realize of course some people have not learned these skills. It grows apparent with each meeting. I do have a love for the folks that simply don't come from the same thoughts as my own, however.

Thank you for your post.
God's blessings be with you!
