I couldn't have said it better myself...

One of my sister's friends wrote this as an e-mail to her Republican father, and then posted a copy of that e-mail on her Facebook.

I don't know the person who wrote it, but my sister has sent me a copy and asked me to post it here.  The author apparently is pleased to have it distributed more widely.  I agree with pretty much everything she wrote in this well-thought-out, nicely-researched essay.

Again, this is political.  If politics aren't your thing, then scroll along, and I'll catch you with fandom stuff soon.

And now...
