Only the wrong kinds of people care what you oppose (don’t be one of them)

Only cranks and curmudgeons care about what you oppose.

Most people want to know what you’re for.

If you’re for them, how will they know if all they know about you is what you oppose? Or if what you say you are for makes it convenient and easy for you to avoid actually having a relationship with them?

What does humanity need now?

More opponents and proponents?

Or more friends and neighbors?

Make the courageous choice.
