I haven't looked, but I'm willing to bet that most people are talking about how wonderful the period costumes are and what a good acting job the players are giving us, not about the ideas expressed therein. Certainly not about how important they are. I think we're loners, fellas, outliers.

Sometimes I waver and also think we should just give up because the stupidity comes at us faster than we can reload. Unfortunately, letting the the utopians and other brands of eejits have a free hand means a lot of people are going to die when the correcion comes, and it will come though we may not be around to see it. There is no great ombudsman in the sky to hand out justice in this life and you're not going to be thanked for providing a rationale alternate to the lunacy. Remember, in any population of sufficient size, half of them are, by definition, below average. Good thing he’s a moderate, no telling what he might say otherwise.
