Why are we discussing topics like this on the list? I do not think moral and political issues of debate belong on this list. They always lead to emotional and sometimes heated argruments that divide people. If this list goes political, I will have to leave it. Too much talk about politics lately, as I belong to lists that are political, but this has always been a list of Parkinsons medical news, discussions of conditions, caregiving related topics, one of support, encouragement, love. Politics is "dirty" and divisive. I object to this list used to express things like this. My humble opinion Jeff Brightline wrote: >I agree with Bob's position regarding marriage.
