Quote:I have repeatedly said people have the right to feel however they want. But I also firmly believe a truth is a truth, even if it's one some people don't accept. Some people reject facts or use other reasons for not educating themselves on what has been a taboo topic. I can accept facts. I don't need to accept people's feelings if there is no basis to make me care about those feelings. I can appreciate people being concerned or afraid up until the point I realize they are afraid of a shadow. To some the shadow will always be real. Should I coddle these people because of fears I feel are irrational based on consistent statistics across multiple states? Should I remain silent when false arguments are being made to prevent a victimized subset of our population from being made safer? I live in the real world. It can be scary, but I at least know the things truly fear are not imaginary.
