you're in good company with the greatest contemporary minds this world has to offer; remind yourself of that fact if you ever wonder if you're doing the right thing:

here's martin luther king jr saying the same thing you did:

... the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

The Simpsons in 1996 sounding just like the people in this thread.
