My Weakness.
Sep. 2nd, 2005 05:56 pmI have determined something vaguely disturbing. I cannot think rationally about words coming out of Michael Moore's mouth. My immediate response is to note some percieved hypocrisy or inanity and lash out at it.
This instinct needs a bit of curbing. Not that I'll believe the words coming out of his mouth, but mayhap I should learn to listen to the words coming out of the mouths of extreme political viewpoint-holders (Moore, Stallman, Bush, Frist) without wanting to put them out of my misery.
Of course, it would also help my fence-walking career if I was educating myself on where the middle ground was.
