People like Ms. Latte crack me up. I've known quite a few.
The part that really cracks me up is that they can, in one breath, say that people like us see everything in black and white and, in the next, say that is bad. They speak in SUCH terms of black and white that, examining their views, you'd never suspect that they believe anything is "shades of grey". In their minds, Bush is absolutely bad. People who vote for Bush are absolutely bad. People who take their religion seriously are absolutely bad. War in Iraq is absolutely bad. Extreme enviromentalist measures are absolutely good. So-called "Seperation of Church and State" is absolutely good.
I've never seen any evidence that some of these people understand what true nuance is. Nuance is merely an excuse to hold their black and white views in the face of contradictory evidence they simply do not like.
Worth repeating, excellent observations.
