A lot of people feel like this--that their world, their, lives, and their faith, are slipping away--and, to a great degree, they are right--

And, fairly logically, they are angry at the people who are promote and support the changes that are squeezing them out--For Chuck, that includes the pinkos and liberals here--

That's an interesting dilemma there, M.Ted. According to that way of looking at things, it would seem that for people like Chuck, in order for him to feel secure in being who he is, other people can't be who they are.

I had a similar dilemma with my mother in the last decade or two of her life. She had become an evangelical fundamentalist Christian, and according to her way of thinking, hers was the true way and all other ways were evil and products of the devil. It was quite a balancing act to try to uphold the validity of my own beliefs and experiences (which in my mother's eyes were "of the devil"), while at the same time trying to avoid invalidating my mother's beliefs.
