Yeaaaah. In some part, Duane came into existence to help me explore the personalities of many of my Right-Wing family members, who are lovely people with horrific political beliefs and impenetrable religious biases. Duane does tend to have more empathy than many Conservative thinkers though. Conservative thinkers often cannot understand another perspective until they have been made to share that perspective as well. They support gay rights after a family member comes out, or gun regulation after a friend is shot, or immigration reform after they actually make friends with some Latinos. Without these firsthand experiences they're often unable to overcome their prejudgements. They act out of emotion and fear rather than rational consideration. It's really hard - nigh impossible - to change this mindset since you can't use logical arguments against emotional beliefs. They can really only be changed with new experiences. So Quigley may as well be shouting at a wall. Duane needs to SEE more. Needs to have new experiences to shake what he's held on to for so long.
