I admire, even envy your posting skills, but you have just proven my point.
I am content to make my choice and not comment on the choice others make.
And most telling of all, I do not state my preferences or dislikes with the dreaded words, "I don't want..." or "I would like to see..." referring to the choice of others.
See the difference?
I think that we're all content to live and let live within a certain tolerance spectrum. It's a bit of an unfair example, but I imagine that while you might tolerate your neighbors choice of music without comment, you would have something to say if he decided to paint his house green with purple polka dots.
Similarly, I shake my head at all of these remarkably successful young couples moving into an outsized Levittown. I'm not saying that they can't or that they shouldn't be allowed to, but I do wonder why you'd spend such a large amount of money on such an ugly thing.
And most telling of all, I do not state my preferences or dislikes with the dreaded words, "I don't want..." or "I would like to see..." referring to the choice of others.
I think that it's perfectly acceptable so long as I'm not asking the 9th Circus to codify my preferences into law. :-)
See the difference?
I see your point.
