People feel so strongly about these two things (in particular) and there are enough crazies out there, that I just don't want to give anyone an incentive or opportunity to key my car or do anything else to it just because they don't agree with me. And, really, with these two items, it's not something I engage with in discussion with people either, as my observation is that most people are not willing to move to a new place (myself included) with regards to their feelings and beliefs on these two subjects, so the discussion consists mainly of the one person waiting until the other person is finished to express their point of view, which the other person won't hear because they're thinking about what they're going to say next.
