Michael - nice to meet you through this piece! I enjoyed it - appreciate your sincerity. My personal take is that you're a critical thinker - and I think we need so much more of that on this planet.
Thanks for sharing...and I agree, sharing opinions as if it aligns with everyone is not helpful - weighing it against others or at least acknowledging it is an opinion and may be wrong - that I'm open to reading.
Have a wonderful holiday!!
