it also made the point i was trying to make a few days back. voicing your thoughts or visceral reactions is being honest, not dishonest. now, acting out on irrational feelings is a whole different story. but like i said when this first came out, how can we have dialogue if people are afraid to speak? this thread illustrated that point, albeit a bit awkwardly.
Ruperts point was self-evident, but for a slightly different reason, matching what he posted about crime in LA. I agree with the article - blind obedience, without question as to why, to irrational fears isn't something to embrace.
