My father. He is a Republican. He is also an idiot. He always makes everything a black and white issue. Like today, I brought up national healthcare. It almost IMMEDIATELY became us against them. It's that way with ANY issue, political, moral, or otherwise. Capitalism vs. Socialism. Good Christian Americans vs. Immoral Atheists, Muslims, and/or Commies. Pro-life vs. Child murdering pigs. I have never ONCE EVER heard him consider even the LIGHTEST shade of grey.
I am a first Generation open-minded Atheist democrat. Yay for the educational system.
I'm sort of jealous of you in the regard that you are so independent and were able to come up with it all in a vacuum of evangelism and conservativeness. I am a third generation open-minded crazy left-wing hippy and a second generation pagan.
