If the shoe fits, the reader is strongly encouraged to wear it. That is the whole point of this piece: I am plainly addressing the people who are part of the problem, just like I used to be part of the problem. The message certainly hasn't gotten across to them by tiptoeing around their part in the tragedy. They have ignored it, because few progressive people plainly say, "This is what YOU do, and this is why it is a problem." (Or when we do, we get accused of being too harsh.) Saying the generic, "PEOPLE do this," allows them to brush it off as not talking to them.

If you read it and say, "Fuck you. I took my turn," that is good, because you are not the person I am writing to. You are not engaging in the activities I listed. Keep taking your turn. If they read it and respond the same way, I have struck a nerve, and that is my intent. They won't be able to brush it off so blithely.
