Your words are very well spoken and well received. I, too, have watched the events of the week unfold, but with quiet eyes. My main fear, voiced at the beginning of the week, would only lead to more upheavel and chaos, especially in the town of our upbringing. <br/><br/>Tonight I had a long talk with o_0 (you would have know him by another name, or even bjbj). As close as we are, we remain divided on some issues. We spoke tonight of our differences, and both left with a better understanding of one another, and therefore a better relationship. <br/><br/>It's hard to sit were I must, sandwiched between two beliefs, unsure of what is to come, knowing that change is immenent and necessary, but knowing that there shall be no way for everyone to be happy. But the person who said that our country was built on Revolution hit it straight on the head. Booker T Washington said it better--Do a common thing in an uncommon way. Wow.

It’s hard to sit were I must, sandwiched between two beliefs, unsure of what is to come, knowing that change is immenent and necessary, but knowing that there shall be no way for everyone to be happy. But the person who said that our country was built on Revolution hit it straight on the head. Booker T Washington said it better–Do a common thing in an uncommon way.

Their holier-than-thou "with us or against us" proclamations are divisive, and their condescending false pity is intentionally manipulative.<br/><br/>It is difficult to watch intelligent, well-meaning people transforming -- ironically! -- into the very monsters they fear the most. I completely and wholeheartedly reject their vitriol, and will definitely be distancing myself from anyone who promotes fear and hate.

It is difficult to watch intelligent, well-meaning people transforming — ironically! — into the very monsters they fear the most. I completely and wholeheartedly reject their vitriol, and will definitely be distancing myself from anyone who promotes fear and hate.
