Pretty sad state of affairs... along with everything else. It all comes down
to extremism. On both sides of the blanket.
Pro-Life
Pro-Choice
Pro-Government
Pro-Constitution (NOT the same thing, it would seem...)
Sms like everyone is 'for' SOMETHING, and against anyone who doesn't hold
identical opinions.
I've decided that I mistrust anyone who rabidly believes anything.
Too-strong convictions are dangerous... they close the mind and demolish all
hope of peace, civility, humanity...
