For fuck's sake, Hank, you're doing this all wrong!
I'm tired of you're being in the middle on things. You and your confusing views, some of which are conservative, some of which are liberal, most of which are moderate. You've no backbone, man! With all that thinking and considering of things. You listened to Sam Harris before passing judgment on him. Who does that?
You'd better get with the fucking program and believe in something. Pick a side. Doesn't matter which, but pick one. You know the teams.
And when you do, start branding others as members of competing teams.
It's all about
belief. What do stand for, Hank? Whose team banner are you holding? You contemplative sorts aren't doing anyone any favors. What we need more of in this country is people who've picked a side. People who see every issue through a prism of
beliefs. Because beliefs, man -- that's where it's at! The more you buy into what a group's thinking, or feeling (feelings are huge, too... remember, nothing is more sacred than empathy), the happier you'll be. Feel that warmth wash over you... You believe, you've an ethos, you're aligned with others. You might even say you've got a mantra.
It's much more comfortable than trying to figure things out on an issue by issue basis. That'll just make you unhappy. And no one will invite you to anything.
