    It’s a shame to see all this hate in the world. I think it’s incumbent upon ourselves, to govern ourselves accordingly, be kind to one another, and exchange in positive and productive dialogue. BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE. Rather than name calling and spewing hate. That solves nothing. But if you offer DIVERSITY of thought here, you will get pounced on.

    The problem is, DIVERSITY of thought, is not welcomed. If you have a thought, opinion, experience, or perspective, and it is voiced here, that differs in any way by the majority, or by what EV has told you to think, you will be pounced on. 
    If you agree with what is happening to our country, our rights, and the Constitution then it WILL be pounced on. 
    I'm scared to death every day about what is happening as a dick- tutor sells out our country to enrich himself

    Funny that, at least in my professional experience, the 'diversity of thought' red herring is only ever trotted out by genocide denialists, climate change denialists, covid truthers, and nationalists. Again, this is only my experience!

    In this case, diversity means you are either in favor of living in a democracy, or you prefer tyranny and dictatorship of rule by highly corrupt  people who only want power and more money than they can ever spend.  Yes, I believe people on either side of that divide have the right to speak their mind.  But on the fan site of a band like Pearl Jam, if you think people are going to be receptive to support for tyranny with open arms, well... that's probably not going to happen.
