For the record, I am neither trying to promote nor dissuade. I'm just trying to avoid stepping in a giant pile of doo doo at a time when nuance is lost on a lot of people, many of whom are understandably very upset and stressed out because the world has very suddenly gone to hell in a hand basket in their eyes.

Personally, I don't think it has gone to hell in a hand basket, but that's not a point of view that most people will welcome. I continue to struggle with how to express myself in the face of the current climate.
