Just about any specific public-policy, cultural, or economic issue one discusses with a general array of one's acquaintances these days quickly turns into a microcosm of the general chasm between the two Americas that very tensely co-inhabit this physical continent.
Bookworm had this once again brought home to her in some Christmas-season conversations about gun policy. She lives in Marin County, so most of those with whom she was conversing were FHers, and things quickly devolved into shouting matches. Her post about it is lengthy, but most informative and enlightening.
One thing that makes the FHer takeover of America so chilling is that these people know in the cores of their beings that their worldview is built on intellectual and moral quicksand. Their denial of that makes them all the more determined to extinguish any opposition to it.
