while flying back to NC from CA - I wore my "Flaming Liberal" t-shirt. As I was getting to my seat, I passed a woman already seated and she was looking daggers at me. I'm sure it was the shirt. Made me feel good.

I have a little theory that the reason magats are triggered by such things is that it stirs up shame in them. of course they just immediately brush that aside for the rage. but maybe over time some of them will come to realize the enormity of their mistake, work through the shame instead of stifling it, and come out better people on the other side.

i don't know. I'll just keep being a walking billboard anyway.
