it's like the eye of a duck

I am learning to keep my own snark in check. I think maybe I'm finally realizing that my "itching for a fight with conservatives" is just me wanting to be right, dammit, and I'm not going to convince anyone of anything by starting something.

I admit I may have been prejudging (see my reply to fearga downthread), but one of the things I may not have made clear in my post was just how non-confrontational the actions of the people on my train, no matter the flinch-worthy flag-wrapping.
