Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
I follow your reasoning perfectly on that, BB. Makes sense to me.

Everyone, truth be told, does have a limited view of reality. It's limited to the influences (cultural and otherwise) that they've been exposed to, and their own experiences.

I find that virtually everyone I talk to is for whatever they are for because of some high ideals they hold dear. In other words, they have some very positive reasons for their beliefs. And...they may also be carrying some grudges and some negativities in their consciousness. It pays to listen to them long enough to get some idea of why they feel the way they do, and what it is that they are instinctively valuing and defending before you rush to judge them.

Again, I'm not directing that at you.   Just talking in general terms.
