It has to begin sometime.

I don't fear horror caused by irrational bigotry and its kin so much, at least in the sense of its effect on people over the long run. Eventually reason and good sense can touch it.

What I really fear is when reason itself is perverted or badly done.

It's ultimately why I fear the Left so much more than the Right. That is, neither side (nor any of the various sides) has special claim to any human faculty, but the Left takes great pride in being the party of reason and enlightenment. It's just they don't always do it well, but always think they do.
