But I don't think we should necessarily label disagreement as drama. My assertion is that we all ought to be able to disagree on things, even passionately, without taking it personally.

That's the problem. It's not the disagreements, it's the self-righteousness on display whenever any of these philosophical disagreements comes up. Caleb is young. I imagine that someday he'll learn he really doesn't have the answers for everyone. In all my years of education and experience, the most important thing I've learned is how much I don't know. I agree that people should take a stand from time to time…but over holsters???
