an us versus them mentality just that much longer. We have to find a better way to help them see the light. I know how exasperating it is to hear their bullshit. How easy it is to demonize them and condescend to them. I've certainly been guilty of that. They live in a dark, dark, fearful and ignorant place. Their minds are closed to the reality that we are all of us connected to one another, living on our only planet. Somehow, we have to help more and more of them realize that we all do better, when we all do better.
