I am of a consciousness beyond simple offense but Bruce is a microcosm of the large number of the 'literal' flatland people who are somewhat similar to a hypnotised subject acting out post hypnotic suggestions. He has value as a person and a teaching example. The feeling of becoming larger than yourself by repeating fox news spin served up on a platter is enticeing for those who need it. So I lied, in that I suppose I do understand his conservatism* and I may have been mean for even engaging Bruce but communication is better than violence. *Olde timey conservatism is of course something quite different. I like your playing with language, it creates new associations, meaning and surprises. Maybe even a writer.
