Okay...

Reading this I am split.

Either you are trolling or you are serious. I can't tell which. 50-50.

I will write this assuming you are serious. I invite you to talk to me. I will open this conversation - if you are willing to accept - with the guarantee that I do not hate children and do not want to see them die. In fact, I have children. I also do not hate you or people like you, regardless of what you feel for people like me. My language about morons is a mistake I regret, though obviously it demonstrates the depth of my distaste for the divisive and self-superior tone underlying this video.

Are you willing to open your mind and talk to a person who sees the world differently than you do? Obviously we disagree. Are you open to the concept that people can disagree heatedly on even extremely difficult questions without either of the parties being a monster? Or if someone perceives the world differently than how you perceive it, they must be shunned from society and starve if necessary? Is this what you believe? It's an honest question. I promise again that I do not hate you. It's not just rhetoric. The feeling isn't in me.

I genuinely don't understand your thought/emotional process.

Will you talk to me? Or are people like me only suitable to be scorned and die?

The ball is in your court.

On the other hand, if you're trolling, this should give you a good laugh... so be it.

i am not trolling.. i am making fun of the situation and i am making fun of our lack of cooperation.

we outnumber these motherfuckers that have stolen this country, and yet we sit here and run around in circles like dogs that chase our own tails.

you can bet on that.

I appreciate the response.

The great talent the propagandists of all eras share is making sure that the terms 'we' and 'they' are forever muddy. As long as the various people composing 'we' can be daily re-wired about which group is the current 'enemy', the circle-running continues.

Thanks again for the response. See you in the trenches.
