Of course I will. I even state in my profile, we can agree to disagree. 
We are all who we are with our own inner workings. Some a wee bit the same but always that little bit of difference, which gives us our own thoughts and ideas. So, by nature alone we shall never agree with everyone. Don't you agree HJ ?

We must look very different to the birds than we do to each other. Likewise, birds seem different to us than they do to each other. Neither the way we see birds nor the way they see us is the "right" way. They are simply different ways of seeing.
If we could turn birds into people so they would see things the way we do, eat the way we do, and think the way we do, we would lose the idea of flying. The knowledge that flight is possible is a gift birds have given us.
We do well to remember this when we get upset at others for not doing things the way we would. Varieties of styles, appetites, and ideas are gifts that enrich the world and bring more possibilities into our lives.
