Such is life.

There are 4 categories:

1) People who don't give a shit.
2) People who give a shit.
3) People who don't give a shit but will use it as a platform.
4) People who give a shit and will use it as a platform.

I don't really care what category people are in as long as they are honest, which politicians rarely are.

A big lesson in life is not to assume that what you eat (read: believe or care about) makes everyone else shit. Also, while we all hold our beliefs based on whatever they are based on and are pretty confident and assertive in them, none of us hold the key to objective truths. Power dynamics and protecting group interests (what social inequalities are based on) are the issue and not information. That's one reason why I see no point in discussing whether sexual orientation is a choice. As with other inequalities, it doesn't really matter whether people are educated and individual opinions are altered.
