I would love to answer them, (thought I did?) but I'm not an every-day on this thread guy.
I know that nobody (on either side) is going to change any minds about politics, abortion, military, gun rights, etc. I just love playing Devil's Advocate because it exercises my brain. Maybe the best exercise it gets.
But...
When I was a freshman in college I got A's for writing essays I BELIEVED in, and one of them was about doing away with one of the basic foundations in our Bill of Rights. The professors loved that sh!t. By giving me A's it promoted me. It took several decades but eventually I realized that I was wrong, and I had become the person my punk-ass younger version had so vehemently demonized back so long ago.

ETA: sh!t (will the censors take it this time?)
