I agree in principle, Michael, but when someone tells me that they fully support legislation that will deprive me of my health care and deprive my disabled son of Medicaid support he will need to survive, it's hard for me to view it as just another perfectly acceptable point of view. The idea that we shouldn't take anything personally when we discuss politics doesn't really hold water when the issues directly and personally affect you in dramatically important ways that actually involve life or death.
