Past truths are distant and because of that they don't involve as much emotion. Future "presumed" truths are only opinions and not fact. So we have differences of opinion which is fine. It's when we have differences in our perceptions of truth that causes problems.

Decisions are made for them. Parameters are set up so they know just how far they can go and no farther. Daddy or mommy will watch over them and protect them from going over the edge. Would having a goverment daddy tell you what to do comfort you?

Of course, while not every convenience store is a gas station or had a gas station, it seems that every gas station has a convenience store or sells certain food and beverage products that are normally sold in convenience stores.
