Fire up the mixer, because we've got work to do.

So I read ~~your~~ the other guy's edit on the original post, too, and I agree. HOWEVER, now is a time for us to stand up for principles and speak clearly about what we believe. Playing the devil's advocate is fun, but counterproductive in a world with so many devils willing to advocate for themselves.

Since I just realized you're not the guy I originally responded too, I guess it all comes down to this:

(And I won’t give you my opinion on it.)

I'm sharing my opinion. If your opinion is the same as mine, then let's join our voices instead of engaging in relativist masturbation. If your opinion is different, then you're wrong and we can talk about why if you'd like.

And to be clear, I'm a relativist, to an extent anyway.

Sure, but freedom of speech should be protected from government prosecution or suppression to the extent possible - a simple concept that seems to be fading from our collective memory more and more with each passing year.

Go to YouTube and search for "Sam Seder Social Security", and then realize why he's making this face at you right now.

A huge amount of highway funding is tied to "alternative mode choice" - specifically bike infrastructure. If they revoke these grants, state DOTs and municipalities are going to have to cancel a lot of road paving projects that include bike lanes.

I mean, I'm not sure cats are out there observing human babies and intentionally imitating them. They have pattern recognition machines in their heads just like we do. "Make noise = human pay attention" is about as complex as this gets. The fact that we're susceptible to the specific timbre of their voices seems likely to be evolutionary coincidence.
