During the 80ies I was pretty Anti American, having only access to papers and tv to tell me the news. And my relatives, who were nice but pretty loud mouthed. But especially since the Bush years and the access to internet I learned that there's another America. One that stands up to what the country's supposed to be, and most of all ordinary people being as concerned as everyone on this planet.
So, I found out that I can find at least some common ground with all of you. Even the ones I usually don't agree with. There are a few beyond redemption, but, to only name one example. Even A Theist is deserving of my respect sometimes. Although I hate his guts for his political views.
OK, rant over.
That might be the most gracious thing I've ever read here.

Also OP where are you from?
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
