My 911 Call, The "Attempted Murder" of My Daughter, & Oppression of the Family Death Penalty

78. Don't you mean, "Thank you, and I apologize for asking you a question, the answer to which I would

have known had I bothered to carefully read your post before suggesting by my question that perhaps I've found a little 'gotcha' in your story"? But thanks for proving Paul's point that people don't like to admit mistakes.

I do appreciate that you at least expressed some compassion before launching your unnecessary investigation and probably meant no harm. However, Paul, who among other things, obviously needs to be truly heard on this issue, seems to be a far more patient person than I, so I don't presume to speak for him with this reaction.

But I find it vexing. I see this sort of thing as a major problem in our political discourse, as well as life in general. People want to have an opinion, usually a negative one, (i.e. there's some possibly damning discrepancy in this guy's story, Obama's a socialist, etc.) before grasping enough of the facts, often despite those facts being available, even presented, to them, to have a valid opinion.

I'm sure I'm often guilty in this as well, but in a case like this, dealing directly with an actual deeply suffering human being, I hope I'm especially careful before expressing the negative.
