Random quote of the day:

“You can’t—sometimes I think you shouldn’t even try to—change people’s minds.  It just gets their backs up.  Better to put the information out and let them deal with it in their own way, on their own time.”

—Charles de Lint, Spirits in the Wires

Wise words, that I should really take to heart!

(I have a tendency to push my opinions & politics through people's throats, especially if they're people I like and [want to] respect...)

We all do that. It's keyed into our DNA, I think. But if we can stop the knee-jerk and step back a bit, sometimes that works better.
