It means that I'm tired of being lumped in with either of the two sides when I'm just trying to make sure everyone, no matter their point of view, gets to have rights. They can disagree, no matter what.
"You're saying that people can disagree?"
"Yes."
"But what about this person who blew up the clinic."
"He had a right to disagree, he didn't have a right to damage property."
"So, you don't think abortion is a right??"
When exactly did I say that?? It's not like I'm mumbling. Why can't I agree with both sides? There are several points to each argument, and I take each point into consideration. I make up my own mind.
"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
