I'm sorry, but that is a stupid coment.It is true that most political views are not absolutely true or absolutely untrue. We still have to make important decisions about what sort of country we want. The decisions we make will determine the quality of life for us and generations to come.
I never said you should change your view of what you believe. I said your view is decidedly in the rhight hand tail of the distribution, but you act as if you are near the center.
If inly 1% of the people believe 2 + 2 = 4, then 99% are INCORRECT. However with most things political, thengs are neither right nor wrong, they are preferences. Restricting gun ownership or not is neither correct nor incorrect, it is a preferences statement about how we want our society to be. In that sense your opinion cannot be "right" (nor can it be "wrong"). It may, however, by myopic. Originally Posted by Old-T

America is at a crossroad. The road we choose will mean the difference between continued greatness or disaster.
