A Simple Rule

[abaris]

Oh, I wasn't meaning "attack" in that sense, because I didn't think you had anything so unreasonable in mind. I meant "attack" with polemics, not police.

My major problem is, that all the people arguing against the moderates, starting out with Harris, down to some people taking him as an example, do so from their comfy armchairs in relatively liberal western states. From the top of ti ivory tower, so to speak. They argue from a position of superiority, looking down instead of trying to walk in their shoes and of imagining what life may look like in a remote desert village without running water and electricity and schools.

But my bigger problem with Harris' postions, and in particular the video being posted here, is that people obviously listen with some sense of awe. Harris says so, and that's someone to listen to, without even considering the flaws in his arguments.
