I'm sorry, old boy, but you confuse me. What is a "valid" opinion which I apparently dismiss so nonsensically? An opinion is a personal view that everyone has. It can no more be valid than it can be green. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, though some would be better advised to keep them quiet. I object to no ones opinion. I disagree with many though, and that also is my right.
Deeply held passions and grievances are the direct cause of most of the murder and mayhem throughout the world. It is civilisation with its commitment to law, order, morality and humanity which we depend on to moderate the evil that they can so often generate.
Please don't contemptuously dismiss the moral high ground either. If we do not seize and hold it, we cannot, and don't deserve to, prevail against chaos and evil.
