That some people are pissed about higher egg prices? Or that their favorite reality TV star is being disrespected?

To me, the validity of our democracy and the rule of law are extremely emotional. They're at the core of this country's existence. How can you get any more "emotional" than that? It comes down to this: either you respect the intent of our founding fathers, and the millions of soldiers who have given their lives over the years for our democracy, or decide that it doesn't matter.
