You took the words right out of my mouth: Let's agree to disagree. I still think that a healthy, robust discussion about anything -- discourse that may include polite disagreement on the part of the various parties -- is a legitimate part of "just being social." I also think that engagement with and discussion of topics ranging from social issues to just a new movie is part of a mutually uplifting psychological interaction, and is as helpful mentally as other kinds of support. Even if we're not talking about ourselves, the things we choose to talk about still say a lot about us. By the by, how about adding a Psycho-Babble Movies page to complement the books page? Atticus
