Thank you for these words of sanity! It amazes me as well how emotional people react to this. It seems that almost everybody's social network I know had been affected by this. Friends, family, colleagues etc. have become divided about this topic. But I think this is also where the solution lies. Shine light on these divides by talking about them, exploring the thoughts and emotions that are attached to them. If people can do this (and it is a big if, for many people have forgotten the art of listening without preconceived judgment), it will bring about healing that our society so desperately needs.
