If you can back what you say up with posts, then it's just facts, not fantasies. See how that works? But I won't make you do the research- I agree with the ACLU on most issues, but not all, and I do have a contempt for people who choose not to educate themselves on national and international issues. I can't read everything, and I am not up to speed on every issue, but I read a lot, and I cover a lot, and I have contempt for people who don't care, because I think they are spitting on democracy by remaining ignorant. I have contempt for ignorance, especially willful ignorance. In that regard I have a lot more respect for conservatives on SI who read a lot of sources (even if I don't happen to agree with their sources) than I do for the average ignorant American.

I would label you now, but I don't really care what you are, and it's not all that interesting to put people in to boxes. So you can have your label of me gratis- may you enjoy it.
