Who's this "we" and what's this known destructive force you speak of, kemosabe? It is one thing to have a divergent opinion and to express it reasonably (and kudos for not being inflammatory), but it is another entirely to make assertions about what's "known", without conceding the possibility of doubt, when one is confronted with reasonable people having opposite opinions.

If you changed "know" above to "believe", then I think that would raise the level of discourse and be more respectful.
