There ' s a small area next to my brother ' s apartment that always has garbage and dry leaves . Last time i was there , a fire started and almost ignited the EXPOSED propane tanks . The fire spread so fast it was insane . <| sep |> I ' m not saying don ' t keep fighting , I ' m saying that it ' s going to take a significant amount of time to make these changes , and that denigrating a significant swath of the electorate as backwards doesn ' t work , because a lot of folks aren ' t at all impressed by liberalurban shame tactics , because the culture is too disjoint . Just like with the gays , most people ' s minds will change only after they ' ve had a chance to get to know someone trans . That will take effort , yes , but also time . And complaining that people aren ' t with the program is particularly ineffective outside progressive culture .
