I like Mr. Zuck. Empathy and understanding are key in the peace process. They are key in everything that has to do with other people. If you can understand what another person is thinking and feeling about something, you'll be able to work with them on their level. If you can work with someone on their level, it's easier to welcome change from one side or the other.
I suggest that you stipulate that this isn't a gay vs. anti-gay marriage thread. There already is one and it's kinda hit a wall. Maybe this can just be a thread for random thoughts about politics. I dunno. Your call.
