    I believe fanatics of all stripes are extremists and I believe moderation is the ideal that should be more sought after.

    Moderation is for fence sitters. Isn't there anything you are ALL IN for L? I'm ALL IN for democracy honesty honor truth. Aren't you? Moderation in those things? Why? Thank you for your reply! :) This post was edited by RosieG at July 16, 2021 11:44 AM MDT

    Yes, I'm all in for the things you've mentioned, but there are issues that I see in one way and others see differently - either of them being all right or all wrong.  What may be good for me may not be for someone else.  The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is abortion.  Being pro-choice, which I am, is not being pro-abortion.  It just means that if a woman thinks that's the best course for her to take, she should be able to do it without it being criminal or having to go back alley and possibly die from it.

    I think we have a right to out bodies. NOT THE STATE or some religious nut. Letting the state tell me what I can and cannot do with my body? WHITE OLD MEN especially? That is insufferable and unconscionable. Thank you for your reply L! :)
