68. I was not talking about my personal beliefs
I was referring to the fact that there are people who disagree with me who have a voice and deserve to be heard. I have spent a lot of time in these kinds of talks and they go nowhere until people acknowledge validity of opinions they disagree with.
I had the good fortune to grow up in a suburb with very good schools. My perspective comes from one of tremendous privilege. I try to acknowledge that and respect opinions I disagree with.
I have personal preferences that are more in line with the positions taken by the SOS org.
At the same time, I believe that with such a massive array of stakeholders, there are likely to be a range of possibilities that lie between any absolutes proposed.
