> If you think the status quo is fine, you're less likely to get hysterical than if you think there is something wrong that needs to be changed I tend to think the opposite. It seems that if you think the status quo is fine, and someone comes along trying to change it, you are more likely to get hysterical. For example (at least here in the US), some proponents of "traditional family values" can get just as hysterical as proponents of marriage equality when marriage equality is on the ballot.
