[sarcasm] but the Us vs. Them dialog is so much easier! [/sarcasm] short story - my wife is walking down the street in downtown Denver with a 'friend'. A woman approaches the 'friend' with a clipboard and kindly says "Hi, I'm Becka, I'm with Planned P..." "NO THANK YOU!" responds 'friend' complete with upraised, extended hand and righteous indignation. My wife is struck by the unnecessarily angry response and it takes a block for her to process it. She asks the 'friend' about the vitriol and 'friend' launches into a tirade about abortion and the evils of feminism and girl scouts as a recruitment tool for NOW.... we're not really friends with 'friend' anymore.
