First, this entry, because it's not locked.
Then, this link about Phelps, because the entry *is* locked.
I'm under the impression that Phelps is, really, one of the best things to happen to the world. No, no, listen. When Phelps starts protesting, all of a sudden, people who were kinda borderline in their opinions on, say, gay people, now they fall all over themselves to show how non-bigoted and non-prejudiced they are! After all, they're not like Phelps, are they?
And in the process, at least some of them really do end up changing their minds.
This can only be a good thing.
Of course, I'm trying to be optimistic today. That flavors my opinions.
