Sometimes on these important issues, heads collide.  We are talking about
living, and loving creatures unique to the world, and ones that have touched
us indelibly.  On the whole, the humor, the passion, the firmly seated
opinions, and the fervor, are a welcome addition to the spectacle of life.
We all take ourselves too seriously from time to time, but the intentions
are honorable and sometimes even valiant.  Time reminds us all that none of
us are beyond its grasp.  And in times of passing such as these, perhaps we
need to remind each other of our shared commonality, and not our individual
differences.
 
best wishes,
until next time,
