Everything is a controversy. People simply trying to do their job have to take a side. Every move is designed to separate us or make us intolerant of each other.

I would like to live in a world where you have your beliefs and attitudes and I have mine. You don't have to impose your beliefs on me and I won't impose mine on yours. We can be civil and go our own way doing the simple things of life so long as we are not infringing on each other's rights.

It shouldn't be this hard. Or maybe we shouldn't hear about these petty conflicts these shit-stirrers cause.
