TDD


You have a more favorable view of "most people" today than I do. Just look at
the internal political polarization in countries that allow real freedom of
political expression, the international political polarization concerning the
Israeli/Palestinian situation, and think of many of the responses that you've
read over the past 10 days or so on this insanely off-topic discussion (OT.
Jewish Pirates). I fear "most people" still view things in black and white
rather than through a thoughtful, nuanced lens.
