Good is dumb II: Electric Boogaloo

And! I'm a liberal. I believe in people. I like people more than corporations even though the corporations are made up of lots of people with a common agenda. But the world I want to live in is one where people live in communities but have the power and freedom to stand apart within them, to tell their own stories and express their own ideas because we all have plenty of both and need to hear as many of them as we can.

Because that's the world I want to live in, that's the world I'm going to strive to create with my daily actions. And that's why I don't support people who loudly dehumanize their political rivals by portraying them as deliberately pursuing fiendish agendas. It's untrue, it's mean, but worst of all it's taking away someone's voice and replacing it with your own mocking and ignorant version of how that voice sounds to you. You have no right. If your version of their story sounds so different from the way they tell it, that says more about you. Shut up and listen.
