Eric, your "opinion" of me has absolutely no importance in my life. I am  a well liked and respected person from my family, friends and co-workers. As to your statement, let's look at a different scenario.  A black man is passing through a predominately white neighborhood and is accosted. He is insulted and his car is struck, in fact someone punctures his tires. He, in your mind is at fault for not just "going around" the neighborhood? He is further at fault if he confronts those who have assaulted his property?   How about a young lady wearing very revealing clothes and goes into a dive bar. Is it her fault for not just "going around?" How about if she resist the unwanted advances, is she further at fault for not just shutting up and taking whatever is dished out to her? Your mind set, your hatred towards all who have different opinions then you do is very revealing Eric, you blame the victim if those who attack see the world through the same narrow blinders you do. Pitiful really.
