So...what you seem to be saying is WE ARE ALL GUILTY ... Now... from now on do not try to gnaw on me a new asshole when I am trying to explain my side.

Is it not in the listening where we gain perspective? Whether the other person listens to us or not has nothing to do with what knowledge we choose to walk away with. That moment of clarity no one can take away from you. That is Truth. but do you not think that you can walk away with some tidbit of truth when listening to someone else?

You see, its just safer for me to assume you are all the same, and hold you responsible for the actions of the most extreme in your party... It's just the cautious and moral thing for me to do... I am sure you understand... I will have to assume you support Trump, his bigotry, and islamophobia…

I'm not saying there is no such thing as truth or untruth. What I'm saying is it isn't that easy to tell them apart. In fact, sometimes its impossible. Let's face it, if there was only one truth, and it was obvious to everyone, we would have very little to disagree about, and even less to talk about. I have been wrong about a lot of things, I'm probably wrong about some things now. And no doubt I'll be wrong about even more things in the future. But when someone tells me I MUST be wrong (because they are obviously right) and the reason I don't believe them is because I'm either stupid or evil, I tend to get really pissed. People like that piss me off not because I think they are wrong, but because they think they must be right. Its the "must" part that gets me. Who the hell do they think they are?
