95. I may not know the correct way, either.
I also know something about the "incorrect way" to discuss this issue.

I think it is "incorrect" to rant, to vent, to rage, to be, in a word, aggressive and/or belligerent. I think that creates a fight, rather than a discussion. It causes people to raise the drawbridge and fling boiling oil, rather than ideas.

Personally, I'd rather discuss the best way to achieve justice, rather than draw a line in the sand and bellow about it. I think we'd get a little further that way.

Instead of a flame war, how about a conversation about how to best achieve justice in this case? I'm open to all constructive suggestions about what to DO about it. We may not find a way to achieve the goal that we both agree on, but we are a lot more likely to move it forward if we start talking about what we ARE willing to do, instead of what we are not.
