Reply #56: I'm hoping this is the case [View All]

[JuniperLea]

As the heat rises and falls at DU, I'm finding things said on both sides of the issue to be surprising, hurtful, and yes, ignorant. When I see people I admire, such as Etheridge and Dionne, show a different perspective than my own, it causes me to pause and look inward. I'm asking myself now if perhaps I'm not seeing the bigger picture.

Yes, we ought to.

I'm still against prayer at the inauguration, or in any governmental function for that matter. But I'm willing to give Obama my support regardless of his choices in what are essentially minor issues when compared to people starving or being killed all over the world. Before any flames are thrown, and because far too many people have misunderstood this very clear OP, I'm compelled to point out that the second sentence in this paragraph is a direct comment on the first paragraph in this sentence, nothing more.

You can draw a picture and name names and still some will find issue based on their own misunderstanding.
