Nice. I think more rulings of this flavor and tone will go a long way to help us understand the way things work and (perhaps) accept the less than perfect world we all inhabit.

I'm always surprised how, when the gate appears to open, so many rush through - creating chaos and blocking the open channel. Or, when things change, so many get up in arms. Or, when help/relief is offered, minds narrow instead of expanding. The larger issues are always there and have always been there. I agree that this helps all of us remember that those exist and when trying to help/add a little relief, those still have to be respected and worked with. (I include myself in forgetting to remember the bigger picture at times and for that, I am sorry.)
