I get offended when people propose things that diminish my rights. If I only discussed politics with someone who was for a flat tax then it would be a short and not-so passionate conversation. Maybe if more people acted like the people who go to city council meetings and scream, the voter turnout in the US would be less anemic. And then we would have real representative democracy. For better or worse. But when people don't care enough to be passionate, you get what we have now, which I don't think you are so crazy about, so much.

Maybe you should shut the fuck up for five minutes and people might listen to your opinions.
