On most issues, I agree with you. Unfortunately, you'll never change minds by demanding, arguing, and denigrating. It's just not how people work. I think you could be a very powerful social activist, if you only honed your ability to convince others to join your side.

My wife tells me the exact same thing. I've tried, sometimes I succeed at it, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY have to struggle to maintain that calm, deliberative tone. Most of the time, I just have little patience at it. I chalk it up to being an air traffic controller as a US Marine. In my airspace, what I said, goes.
