'There is no “our dead” or “their dead.”' Great point. This can be extrapolated to other issues, like politics, race, war (including culture wars), and economics. Hard-hitting stuff, Tony.

Thanks Tony, this piece, as companion to your other essay, fills a lot of the blanks I had, and tackles the questions I had too. I regret to the first piece, better if I’d waited to read this too. But, thanks again.

Regret responding to the first piece… I meant to say.

Thanks for the articles, Tony. Do you have a view on the Chiesa song? As a Liverpool fan, I find a couple of the lines very uncomfortable (with the timing of it becoming popular not helping). I'm sure no offence was meant when it was written, but it feels thoughtless at best. Or maybe I'm being over-sensitive.
