I spend so much mental energy trying to understand why those other guys think the way they do.... what a waste! I could just label it HATE!!1!!eleventy! and move on, smug and secure in my own unimpeachable virtue. <br /><br />Why bother with the facts and the logic and the reason and the trying to put yourself in the other guy's shoes? It has so often been said that conservatives think liberals are deluded, while liberals think conservatives are evil. Well, you can clear up ignorance, but evil is forever. <br /><br />See what I mean? It would be so <i>nice</i> to be able to say "so what about your facts and logic and consistency? I'm right and you're wrong, neener neener neener".... and then just walk away, feeling like I've actually struck a blow for social justice in the face of reactionary thuggery. <br /><br />Alas.Severiannoreply@blogger.com
