I find it depressing the way people seem so eager to come to such definite and hyperconfident attitudes about things like this,, and expressive them in such hate-filled ways.

People on both sides. The impression that comes across from a lot of peiople posting here, and writing in the media, behind the obvious disgreement on actual issues, there seems to be a shared appetite for a kind of fundamentalism on both sides. Is tat really what America is like these days?
