I repeat: you would think that those kinds of lessons would teach conservatives to appreciate what happens to minority groups in the world outside the universities. But no, it doesn't. So our social relationships become more and more angry and mean.
The pleasure I take in listening to complaints about fairness from people who have meted out lots of unfairness on more important topics, like food and medicine, is fleeting, because I know that it only feeds the cycle. Yet the irony is so delightful, I can't help but smile.
On another front, a young couple with an infant came in yesterday to ask for some help researching emigration. Their religious beliefs suffered the final insult with the use of torture to interrogate prisoners. They have a handful of phone numbers and websites now. So don't worry: the old liberals will die off soon enough, and the young ones are looking into leaving. Attrition takes time.
