I feel partly responsible
Though I think she classes me as an opponent of the first type, Ambra hasn't actually annoyed me yet. And frankly for this one she gets much respect (for the across-the-board distancing of self from stupid). I'm impressed enough to let her piss me off once with no repercussions.
The Requisite Monthly Rant: for the record, Republican doesn't equal "Moral" or "Righteous"
Throughout the course of my brief time as a writer, I've generally been able to pin "opponents" by brand. There's the "You're Too Young to Know Anything So Go Back and Finish College First" brand of people. There's also the "I Think You're an Uncle Tom, Coon, Sell-out Because You Talked Bad About Jesse Jackson And it Rubbed Me the Wrong Way" brand of people. Lastly, there's my personal favorite: the "I'm An Atheist and A Democrat and I Think You're Stooopid" brand of people. I am quite familiar with all these schools of thought. However, just when you think you're on top of your game, a new brand emerges. Well, somewhat new to me at least. Earlier this summer, I was introduced to what appears to be the most dangerous of all the brands of opposition: the "I'm a Republican and Am Therefore by Default Righteous and Moral" people. Boy does this one open up a can of worms. These people are dangerous because they are deceived.
Oh, the responsibility part is because it wasn't long ago that I linked to her with the title Still young, still learning.
