Re: not pure enough?

what does "the more the two become entwined" mean? the more what two become entwined?

The more someone interperets thier Political Identity as thier Personal Identity and vice versa.

To me, this seems to be a trait common to both self-proclaimed Class Warriors and Fundimentalists.

dont believe that every viewpoint is worthy of respect. somehow, i get the feeling that you dont either. but maybe im just projecting.

That is a tricky one. I would say that whether or not I consider an idea to be worthy of respect has no real bearing on the sincerity or worth of the person espousing it. There are plenty of people who I respect, and who's company I enjoy, who if worse came to worse I would force me to face them from the opposite side of the barricade due to our politics.

Some people can make the distinction and others can not.
