Dissent is healthy and noble. It challenges assumptions and clarifies ideas. Sometimes synthesis and synergy result from creative dissent.Dissension is unhealthy and ignoble. Its adherents value conflict and annihilation over resolution and consensus. Opponents become enemies and enemies are to be afforded no respect. Dissension kills associations, movements, and even countries.
It does raise a lot of money and sell a lot of advertising spots, though.
So .... is this like a trick question or something?

Or ... did I just reconfirm my sanity?
Keeping your sanity is a prize worth having, no?
