I've had several years to weigh both sides and I see nothing wrong with choosing an ideal that suits me. I am biased and I don't have a problem with the path you or Ralphy have chosen.
Is someone "ignorant" if they don't share your ideals? Or do you declare they are blind for not seeing things as you do? I don't mean to dwell on this, but being so judgemental isn't unbiased.
We just don't agree and I'm cool with that
