Potter, Many of our differences have their basis in perceptions. These perceptions have evolved from experiences as uniquely individual as fingerprints or personality. The closest any of us are going to come to "walking a mile" in each others' shoes is to describe the journey we're taking and to listen as others do the same. The debate and discussion on this board can be helpful this way. Unfortunately, the open door encourages some to stick their head in and spew their self-consuming hatred. Gonefishin's post is way out of line! Your thoughtful and insightful posts are appreciated.
