I don’t disagree with you, but the America I live in isn’t going to be undergoing that kind of transformation any time soon. If we’re talking sports, America is a hockey game. You’re saying we should change the hockey game into a baseball game. I’m saying I’m gonna keep my pads on and survive the hockey game.

Back off. This post has a lot more acrimony than actual points (and a couple of sentences could encourage others to accuse you of lying) while it is far too personal in several comments.  
This is not a Warning, but it is a Note that you are walking too close to the line.
