LOL. Yeah. It was easier as a kid; if I got mad I didn't usually have many compunctions about correcting people vociferously and sometimes quite harshly. I've been rarely had to argue, as it were, with someone in a position of authority. I've argued with my teachers about politics and things as a child, so more than other people perhaps, but this still feels more agonizing. I think that as an adult, and also having had my consciousness somewhat raised also even since adulthood, I feel more responsibility (in multiple ways that is)to correct these things. And then, too, anti-semitism is more painful to me, and feels more like a personal insult, where the political arguments, even if I felt as passionately about them as I was capable of doing as a child, were still not as emotionally charged.
