There are many positions which I disagree with, or even have contempt for or hate, which I can still imaginatively share: that is, I can sort of understand what the world looks like from that perspective. I am utterly baffled by Nathan. I simply can't begin even to imagine what it must feel like to think as he does, especially on this issue of the CTV. We have men who apparently support a bloody coup against the elected government, and yet merely because they are officially "union leaders" (though anti-worker), he believes they should not be interfered with by the government. This makes no sense at all. Can someone explain.
