There are millions of people who would gladly Shake Your Hand and hug your neck. They may stereotype for the safety of their families and communities , but they are not incapable of Sheltering and caring for anyone regardless of their race or identity . They would gladly sit at a table across from you with cheers. They would do it without fear, without masks, and without a vaccine. We are not our mistakes. We are not static in our ideas. Our fellow humans know that to be fact, but there are doubts cast by lesser beings.

You are not the advarsary for believing your personal Liberty and the respect for your neighbor are tied to natural law. That is to say I will protect us all when I can first protect myself. And I protect myself with facts, logic, and the truth.

My aim is to always have conversations that test my convictions and reveal more truth. I will not shut down a conversation because my emotions are getting in the way of revealing the resolution. This is not how our current governance and media are principled. Well-meaning people are censored, berated, and castigated for inconveniencing false narratives with questions regardless of their identity.

I choose to be amongst people who reject the extremists regardless of their political spectrum. I reject those who can only regurgitate the political standard. We can all do better but only when the middle is not described as hateful, biggoted, racist, sexist, or whatever term "they" choose to throwaround for power.

Why do I feel controversial for believing these things?
