I've also turned that bridge line on my dad when he complains about me going barefoot in public and mentions that no one else is barefoot. But yeah, polarization is everywhere these days, too many people take even minor disagreements as blasphemy, and moderates and voice of reason types more often than not get drown out by the masses who are too busy bickering over things they disagree on to even notice their points of agreement, and disagreement for it's own sake is disturbingly common. Still, I try to act the voice of reason as much as possible and try to maintain a Socratic humility of acknowledging that my ignorance outweighs my knowledge. If I can make even one person, be they blind or not, calm down and consider the opposition might have a point, I'll take it as a small, but meaningful victory. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
