Indeed. And I'm comfortable lumping those xenophobes into the same group as those who believe that we should throw out the 4th Amendment, and have already discarded the 7th (and chunks of several others).
- diminoten 13y agoDon't you hear yourself? You're as unreasonable as the people you deride...
- CWuestefeld 13y agoWell, I guess that depends on what you consider "unreasonable". I'll admit to idealistic, resolute, and maybe even impractical. But it's actually my point that it's the ideals that matter. We can never say that the ends justify the means, because there's never actually an end: time just keeps rolling on. So tell me: do you see me being unreasonable in a bad way? (This is a sincere question: what am I missing from my point of view?)
- diminoten 13y agoOkay, you do recognize it's not useful as a means of determining policy and legislation (practical). That's fine. The world needs idealists, but you have to understand when you don't get your way.
