Two different town halls one informational and the other promotional.
It takes information to make an informed decision. We don't always want it and we certainly don't always use it, but knowing all points of issues help to make our decision better and more informed.
There used to be debates on issues for and against. The pros and cons were presented and one could asses the better choice. Nowadays, the art of debate has become one of demonization of one side or the other. Debates turn into shouting matches and tempers fly on both sides. There are no longer attempts to listen much less to understand the opposite side of the issue (See Congress.) If you don't agree with a particular side, then you're just ignorant (lack of knowledge.)
May we once again return to the art of debate and learn from all sides and determine, thus, the best decision.
