That is a cure analogy but not really accurate random thoughts Send a noteboard - 24/08/2017 05:38:54 PM

Those types of pizzas are real pizzas. What we have now is one group demanding moon dust pizza and one demanding unicorn pizza and both throwing a fit because they can't get what they want. The centrist wants to find the best solution out of the possible options, while the more hardcore considering compromise failure because they are so certain they are right they see no reason they should not have what they wantand anyone who disagrees is an idiot for not seeing what is so clear to them. The real though is they believe in their personal truth so deeply they get angry and defensive when someone points out the reasons why they can't have moon dust pizza.
