evil_erato is right again, so I'm quoting her again:

If you're going to have an opinion and speak it aloud, expect a response. Expect positive responses. Expect negative responses. Expect to have to explain your opinion. Expect to have to defend your opinion. Expect every response that a human being is capable of, becuase I guarantee that if you keep voicing your opinion long enough you'll come across every response that a human is capable of. That's what being allowed to voice an opinion is all about.

I find it incredibly appropriate that we had this big political discussion on Hermione's birthday, don't you? I also find it comforting that so many folks are passionate about politics, even if they disagree with me. The real enemy of democracy is apathy.

So, what's up?
