Oh no! I honestly did not want to increase the level of discourse! Honest!
I didn't think a post with a link that the company originally posted on its official website about depoliticing a topic was going to ruffle feathers. I took the petitions name at face value. My ignorance may just be bliss. And if my post caused you consternation, I'm very sorry.
I for one feel fortunate for our group in light of today's situation with regards to our jobs. We all are very fortunate.
I read through enough pages of the other topic to learn that there are some very strong opinions on both sides of the argument. It seems like the arguments there are more a contest than a means to an end.
I like to learn about other people's opinion on a topic so I can grow and be more thoughtful of other people's point(s) of view.
Name calling and vitriol seem to me to be counterproductive.
At the end of the day we all need to work together to protect one another. There are so many more bumps in the road ahead, many of which we don't even know about yet! Unity can be our best shock absorber.
This divisiveness is very sad. Hopefully we can begin to learn from one another instead of fight one another.
Still, I do wish for anyone reading this, a very pleasant day.
