Agh. I really, really mustn't listen to radio phone-ins. I don't normally do it, but this time the radio happened to be on in the car at the wrong moment. I just get so cross and so frustrated and so depressed at the sheer number of people who know they are right. They spout their bigoted opinions and their narrow little world views, and they say it with absolute unshakeable conviction that they are right, and that anyone who thinks otherwise is morally wrong or worthless or stupid or rotten to the core. It makes me want to bang my head against the wall and cry. Occasionaly I might even more or less agree with what they're saying, but they state it as such categorical fact that I want to pin them to the wall and devil's advocate them to death.
