Quote: approval nationwide is about 90%.
I guess the question is, why do the other 10% think it's even their business? Growing up in Columbus Ohio, my neighbour to the south took the time to stop me, at 8 years old, on the street, and tell me he didn't think my parents should be married. I'd already been to Georgia and had knowledge of the Klan, so I thought he was pretty tame. I wonder what the odds of that happening today are? I hope it's a lot less than 10%.
But on another note, my parents got crossed up one day and my brother 3 years old, got dropped off in winter when no one was home. Those same neighbours took him in and looked after him royally for a couple hours until my parents got home. You don't want to be thinking too many mean thoughts about these people. it's an attitude.. but it doesn't necessarily mean they are terrible people, or not capable of compassion. They had no trespassing signs on the lot line, pointed our way the whole 7 years we lived there, and their little boy wasn't allowed to play with anyone else in the neighbourhood, because they all played with me, and that wasn't right. I often wondered about that little boy, I remember him peeking through a hole in the wooden fence when there was 6 or 7 of us out there frolicking in the yard.
I wonder if he's one of that 10%, or rejected his parents ideology. I'd find out if I could, but, we haven't kept in touch.
