The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Um, there's one faction that burns cities when they don't get their way. One faction that says "If you don't agree with me you are dead to me."



Yes, I believe you are right that there is some asymmetry. People don't dare to put a Trump sticker on their car because they know that it is likely to get keyed, or to put a poster on their lawn because they don't want to endanger their family. I have an Israeli flag on my balcony and I have to wonder whether it is wise. But the people that will one day throw a stone through my window aren't afraid to say 'From the river to the sea' and oddly enough, they are probably right to feel safe.

But for the next few days, I think we should cut them some slack. It hurts to lose, and a little graciousness is in order if you feel like you just won.
