I am glad to hear that we may have found some common ground.
You say we agree - I would like to know what, specifically, do we agree about?
- The tree making a noise, regardless if you hear it?
- Or that rhetoric is a waste of everyone's time:
... Unless you are TRYING to waste time and opportunity to progress past our current state of inhumanity to man and beast?
I am sure there are more ways we are exactly alike than either of us knows. Does that bother you?
