The Logic of For and Against

Among my blue-collar relations are those who simply hate anyone who does not remain blue collar — anyone who seems to have drifted from the blue-collar narrative. They seem to reserve a special right to hate someone who has dared become rich and successful.

I do not share this philosophy, and I have said so to my grandsons.

If we are going to take a stand either for or against someone, we owe a logical set of reasons to ourselves and to others. Before we take a stand for or against, we had better have a hardy and defensible logic stream to back it up.
