    I will say that it’s an attitude that can only develop with a combined lack of wisdom and empathy.

    Intelligence isn’t one thing, but the stories of tokens being used and thrown away are difficult to miss in our culture and even if not it takes a lack of wisdom to fail to see that the bigots don’t like the good ones either. And it takes a lack of empathy to get there. It requires being unable or unwilling to see consequences that others see easily and then to behave reprehensibly to get those consequences.

      The irony of luke warm takes like this amuses me to no end.
