Stage 3, Day 5,
A different feeling in my body; feels better than usual.
I've had the shocking realization that my family members are huge Liberals; not in a Classic Liberal sort of way; more of the quote-John-Stewart-and-Oliver sort of way; no regard to statistics, facts, logic. All rhetoric.
We had our Thanksgiving here in Canada-land, so certain conversations came up (we Canadians take a certain interest in Americans and their guns (and Trump)). I do my best to tune them out until I can crystallize my skills in logic and rhetoric.
Though I'm not American, I fully understand where the Constitution - which I've read a couple of times - is coming from when it comes to civil liberties; they were well aware of what would happen without those rights, namely the dissolution of individual liberties. The second amendment is the huge 'fuck you' from the people to their centralized government that dissuades said government from going after any of the other amendments of the Constitution (at least, not without some serious consequences).
