"Oh, I'm just explaning why voting No is the right answer. They think voting Yes is"

I'm so sick of this ultra leftward, near pinko environment I go to school in.

Hello,

Aside from instances of direct self-interest I think you will find that most proponents of AA are sincere in their desire to redress the evils of the past and want to help their fellow man live a better life. Consequently the rhetorical posture assumed pushes advocates to see any opposition as immoral in some fashion in that the opposition is presumed to preserve a wrong. The stance often reflects sentimentality trumping rationality.
