5. We Think Alike On This One... It Is Very Understandable

But I also think it's healthy to let folks explore their self-doubts and 'guilt' about feeling glee at the misfortune of their enemies. This introspective self examination is far more healthy and productive than anything one would expect from the conservative opposition.

This topic may have been discussed to your personal satisfaction in other threads, but I see no harm in allowing others (who are just now starting to examine their feelings) to have the same ability to share those feelings and doubts with others.

Certainly--as you point out--there are other more important things (for you) to worry about. Since you've discussed this on like about ten different threads, it's clear that you're bored with the subject.

Someone's self-doubt at their reactions may not be killing our cause, but why should that fact--and your boredom with the subject--be used as justification for trivializing their concerns and suggesting they they just let it die? I don't think that's fair.

Did I misunderstand your message? If so, I apologize.
