6. Laughter is all they deserve.
If they are still holding on to that stupidity, they are a lost cause.

But I did take the 'notify the authorities' option just in case.

10. No one has ever brought this up to me.
And I'm friends with some conservatives. Not a single one of them has ever brought it up except as a joke.

Never met a person 'worried' about it. So I don't have to 'deal' with them. Frankly, if I met one I still would not feel I had any need to 'deal' with them.
