on the other hand, these issues are used as a wedge in the culture wars and the attention they get is out of proportion with their impact.
and it has to be a scary thing and a royal pain in the ass to be used like cannon fodder, whether it's politics or actual war.
but when it comes to war, courage and endurance are not enough, and strategy is paramount.
so, what's the strategy?

I'm not really sure, I think we would have to find the center as to why people are acting like this, and I think it's fear. Fear of something that isn't a norm for someone that is looking in from the outside. So, what do they do in return? They shoot fear right back at us. It's a viscous cycle and it needs to be broken.
