Bobert, I do what everyone else in this world does. I talk about things I find interesting and things that I think are important and meaningful.

I am interested in the current political situation. I think it's important and meaningful.

That's why I talk about it. For that reason alone. Not to convert you or "lecture" you or change the world. But simply to express my own thoughts. Period.

I cannot help it if my honest opinions about politics and the thoughts that I have about politics ruffle your feathers in some way. That's life.

We all get the impression that other people are lecturing us from time to time. That's because thoughts that differ from our own jangle us a bit.

But that's life! (shrug) It happens, and it will keep happening. I see no way of avoiding it unless we simply stop talking to one another (and I am not suggesting that we should stop talking to one another).
