I am related to some of them. They are willfully ignorant and deluded, but not as hateful as others I know. I try to fight my worst instincts and view them on an individual basis.

If I am to expect my political opponents to not see me a inhuman, then don't I have to practice what I preach? The use of broad brush politics is destroying this nation.
