Cobe,

I am so glad someone is voicing these opinions out loud and I hope that instead of getting angry or attempting to make those of us with those reactions feel somehow "cruel" and selfish, people will address them and discuss them as legitimate rational doubts. They are very common emotions and reactions, and they go hand-in-hand with the American "personality" of working hard and moving ahead and being independent.

In a way, it's rather like the illegal problem. Control the borders before you take on the enormous problem within the country.

I am probably not very coherent in this- I just wanted to get it out there that your and Lane3's comments are very needed here to help talk through an issue that divides our nation, and urge both sides to try to avoid getting too emotional or personally critical of the other side. This is a real opportunity for the sides to listen to each other.
