...but SOME PEOPLE seem to get shouted down every time
they bring it up an incident, like it never adds up to some individual's
definition, therefore it can't be true in it's sum total.

It's adorable.

 
Like the Vegan with the candy bar 'jones' who plugged his ears and
repeated "I can't hear you!" over and over aain when I tried to explain
how white sugar becomes 'white'. (activated charcoal from what is mostly
charred beef bones). I kept saying it... until he ran away. Buh Buy!

(ignorant little food freak)

Yes, adorable... and when the 'left' finally grows up, learns to use 
language
like the proles they claim to represent but typically (and often humorously)
just mimmick, there will already\be a fascist regime in power, but not 
by the
OLD (tired) definition that was adhered to for just (perhaps) a year... 
a week... too long.
