What a lovely and uplifting post that is in defense of Tony and Luella, and it is all true. In the long run, debates can be stimulating to the intellect, but if the underlying motive does not lead to a positive outcome, then it's just clashing metal.
We are reminded that the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart. What comes out, and the effect it has on everything around, is the true measure. Water feeds the plant, battery acid kills it.
