Thanks, MTL. 
As for the notion that this conversation doesn't need to happen... well, that would be ideal, I agree. But you never know, especially since there are a LOT of people who don't agree with these principles. Either way, I think open and honest communication between parents and their kids can never hurt. Just mho.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
