Mama,

I'm not quite sure the point you're attempting to make, but (actual knowledge and understanding never having gotten in my way before!) here are some thoughts in response.

First I don't agree that we have "rights," but rather believe that we make choices and those choices influence karma, or as the physicist would say, have results.

I don't feel any obligation to "correct" some other hateful person. Especially when it would be on the order of "teaching a pig to sing." On the other hand, I often DO choose to voice my opinion if I sense that I may be able to cause the offending person to perhaps rethink his position, OR if others in the audio proximity might find my thoughts possibly worth while.

I just minutes ago read an interesting post by Jim Davidson which is applicable to your post and I hereby recommend it to you: Why I am not a Conservative
