I have to agree; even topics that are normally volatile have been discussed rationally and with respect to all involved.
It is a refreshing, and welcome change.

Absolutely, without that respect things deteriorate rather quickly and since that has not happened there must be respect in there somewhere.

No righteousness in me is found
Except upon redemption ground
Don't you feel that we.....as humankind...are in need of redemption?
Redemption = Buying back |

In some manners you are correct, but we are each also responsible for our own conduct and those who act irresponsibly or maliciously are the sole owners of the misery they create; both to others and themselves.
