So now you can see how giving these obviously subversive America-haters "special rights" would ruin the country . . . also I have to go now. I seem to have something in my eyes. I think it's the pollen, or the idea of someone getting death threats or hate mail, or the easel standing in for someone who isn't here any more.

Maybe it's easy to hate some kind of abstract notion, some vague faceless "them." But how can you keep hating these people who are standing in front of you asking for just simple human decency and civil rights? I can't see how ensuring their rights does anything but uplift us all and make this a better country. Damn pollen . . .
