When I saaw the name labman, I thought of a white coat. I know what that makes me, but try this on for size.
If you make conclusions without anything to base it on, then you are an uneducated fool! Whether it's personal rationalization, or education that gives you experience to make assumptions based on what one reads.
Why are you so quick to disrespect people? Why are you so fast in throwing race into the debate?(and don't say you didn't, do the words colored human being ring a bell?)
In part of you first post it seems like you're talking out your mouth and butt at the same time. You said we "...need to step back and wear the shoes of both...etrhical scrutinization must be mandated..." One doesn't need to walk a mile in others shoes to tell who has higher ethics levels. When you take a shot that is at an unknown distance,hoping to get a deer, only 'cause it has a big rack, you just threw your ethics out with the trash.
Go ahead and criticize me, call me names, whatever.
