This is an excellent example of why not to judge a book by its cover. But so many times in our society first impressions are the ones that colour how we perceive people.

Thanks @cecicastor! Yeah I'm somewhat happy with my reaction. I had a strong negative view when I first saw it but obviously I'm open enough as a person to still engage the guy on the topic and just hear a little of the motivations. Regardless of whether it's "right or wrong" the ability to talk about something controversial is not a skill I want to lose.

It is a skill we all should foster. The world would be a much better place if everyone could talk about controversial topics without going ballistic. I can think of a few political leaders that could use lessons.
