We don't need to demonize folks that don't agree with us.

Yes we discuses life and death issues here. Yes our feelings run the gamut from detached to frothy. But for Pete's sake can we show some respect for the person if not for their views? Can't we acknowledge that a person can have two opposing views in their heads at once? I'm against the war but support our troops. I'm against the death penalty and not for criminals. I'm for the death penalty an still believe in the sanctity of life.

For days on end I have read some really harsh post on DU and yes that does include the lounge. Can we show some restraint. Count to ten, decline to be drawn in, get up and walk away and mull over our response more before we reply. After all we are on the same side here.
