Boss Radio and MousePod are completely and wonderfully RIGHT ON!
I am incapable of loving everyone as I am incapable to loving every one. I once thought it would be admirable of me to profess love and respect for all humankind until I realized I was lying to myself. I was denying myself important emotions that, left suppressed, were causing more harm than the simple expression of them.
I cannot respect everyone. I hold no one in any sort of esteme that spews forth the type of hatred that Helms did throughout his lifetime. To respect them means I hold them in some sort of regard, that I appreciate them in some way. Helms is someone I hold absolutely no regard for and he has done nothing for the world that I can show any amount of appreciation for. I accept the fact that he was an ignorant, hate-filled moron, but I also accept that fact that it was his choice to be that way. I didn't know the man personally, I can only respond to the choices his made in his life, and, as a result, I cannot respect him in any way. Saying that I can respect his beliefs in any way is giving his brand of hatred a green light in my opinion.
