Great reply Dori. I don't think this is an issue of intelligence or rights.
It has to do more with beliefs and priorities. As such, it's a very public
issue and in the end, as a democracy, both in the political sphere and the
market, we will have to resolve differences in the court of public opinion.
That's why I believe we need to at least hear and understand, as much as
possible, all sides of these issues. Otherwise, we may not be able to
address them well and we won't convince anyone.
