Speak up where we can, educate where possible. Keep the rhetoric in the realm of reality but not automatically brush off what may sound too over the top. The world can't be much more over the top than it is. I've heard rumours and read reports about war talk from Arizona to Montana to Texas to Alabama to Ohio. It's all over... the dumb thing is, it's all based on lies and twisted views of reality.
