40. the smiley at the end is and was
an effort to gentle the tone of my reply.

I admit to being incredibly frustrated with the snap-reaction of YOU and others here who were so quick to jump to the negative conclusion of this womans statement without being honest, or FAIR enough to make their OWN judgment- and not simply react to it based on the comments of others.

That attitude- the willingness to take others opinions and perspectives and run with them is a tremendous part of why we are all in this shit hole we are in today.

I'm not talking about 'pushing envelopes' or anything like that, I'm talking about the right to be judged fairly- not as a result of hear-say. And the right to have your perspective HEARD, without prejudice, and judged on its merit, and not on 'group-think'.

Please do take the time to watch this, and listen to her words at the end closely. I would never have expected to be defending this video- and actually WOULD never have come up thinking it was either good- or even ok, had I not taken the effort to know just what it was that was being said.
This video encourages us to THINK. deeply.

I'm sorry to have replied so angrily to your outrage.

I wish you peace-
