Facebook Juxtaposition

I just noticed two friend posts next to each other on Facebook. One is a link to a Stop Abortion site. Right below it is a link to a Stop Hate group. While some might find this substantive dichotomy of politics disturbing, I find it enriching. By conversing with people who have different belief systems, I'm able to form more intelligent and educated decisions of my own. And I love that the fundamental principles of this country celebrate diversity of thought and opinion, even though individuals may abuse the gift and mis-recognize it.
