If you think you have valuable points to contribute, I'd sure be
interested in your participation. I for one am NOT decided. If I'm the
person whose reasoning you see vast holes in, I would welcome your
input, if I'm not, I'd still welcome your input because you may have a
different view of those seemingly untractable opinions than I do.
As to why I am continuing to be involved in the discussion? I am getting
something out of it. I am not 100% decided (though you should be able to
get an idea of which side I favor), and I see some valuable input from
others which I am working off of to increase my understanding.
In addition, while I see no quick resolution of the issue on a national
scale, I can still make a decision for myself, and I can at least
implement that decision in my own dealings with the issue.
