... but then we're dealing with people, not plaster saints. That's why conservatives are so dry, when liberals are so sanguine and damp.

That analogy does nothing for me. Care to try another, one that perhaps I can latch on to?

Hmmm, I didn't analogize. I just said that we are dealing with people. People disappoint constantly. That's why conservatives are so much more realistic than Mr. Rogers liberals.

Conservatives could have told you in 1964 that the supporters of the Civil Rights Act would disappoint. That black civil-rights campaigners would turn out to be closet racists themselves, that they would use the laws liberals gave them to screw innocent people because they were white.

People are people. Give them stupid laws, they do mean and stupid things with them.
