Xorkoth, crazy stuff. I don't understand the way things are going these days... people seem to be more divided and hateful than ever before. Everyone sees in black and white all of a sudden, it seems. I don't know what brought this on... honestly, I think the planet is overpopulated, and because of technology, now everyone can know about everyone else in the world... and it makes them frightened. Humans inherently fear that which is different... at least prior to the 20th century, people didn't really know much about what was going on outside their little town; now people know just what's going on in Cairo, or Boston, or Baghdad, and it frightens the crap out of them so they lash out.
At least, that's my theory.
