"You're an anti-slavery extremist, you're an anti-murder extremist, you're an anti-rape extremist, etc..."
You define slavery. We could have an ongoing conversation about taxation of which some we might agree upon. We could talk about free labor. We could talk about indentured servants. We could have many conversations on it. I don't think i'm extreme on my views. My Irish kin Mayflowered over and went through shit I couldn't imagine.
You define murder. We could argue about War being murder. We could argue about the death penalty. We could argue about abortion. We could argue about hunting. I don't think i'm extreme on my views.
You define rape. We could argue about consensuality. We could argue that if both of the two parties were fucked up only one should be at fault. I don't think i'm extreme on my views.
I'd rather have a cautious and hopefully evolutionary approach to my way of thinking. I don't like covering things with a blanket ideology.
