But I don't trust you, as I have no means to judge how much of your antagonism is real and how much is in your own head. When I said "no one" I was reiterating my own philosophy: The scariest people I can think of are the ones who absolutely "know" that they are right, because what if they aren't? I don't know any answers for sure, but I don't believe you do either (the "you" here applying to everyone, not just you personally).

As I said long ago in the 'Gay Marriage' thread, either you have freedom or you don't. There is no middle ground.
