Are you dedicated to the mainstream thinking that 2 + 2 = 4, or would you rather say that you have yourself decided it's true?

I'd rather be able to prove it - which is an option you don't even consider. Would "2 - 2 = 1" if a sufficient number of ignorant people believed it, akin to Mr Beier's "proof" that no child desires a sex with a pedophile?

Danny is a social conservative whose impulse is to lock us all up.

Whereas a probable non-conservative calling pedophiles child molesters or even working on their genocide doesn't bother you as much as Danny and his impulses?
