Actually it's more akin to you having an outside faucet, some kid using it to spray someone else walking down the street, and then you being expected to apologize for allowing the possibility.

And there was plenty of positive reception to my comment. Not that I particularly expected it as I wrote it - speaking truth to power is never easy, and it's even worse in a democracy when that power is distributed throughout the herd.

But don't worry, I'll continue advocating for the unpopular truth even after this buildup of reaction finally overflows and the prevailing groupthink switches back to jingoism and overt bigotry.
