Assert a "Label". It's far easier to hate without a human face attached to it.
Labels take away all that is best in our humanity. Instead of being common children or moms or dads or sisters or brothers or friends or neighbors,...we are "socialists", "right-wingers", "terrorists", "fascists", "leftists", "hate-mongers", etc., etc., etc.

NOTE that, those who assert labels always do so as an excuse to express/conjure/incite hatred FOR A PROFIT ONTO THEMSELVES: Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Murdoch, Black, Rove, Hitler, Blackwater, Cheney,....*ICK*

It's a sad and disgustingly successful means of oppression that still happens in spite of lessons we all should have learned over the last half decade.


That's all,...I have to say.

2. Oh. I am happy to report I've missed that, among other,...uh, twisters.
*shakes head*

Decent human beings do not have to work hard at being decent,...they have to work real hard at coping with assholes who don't give a rat's butt hair about being decent.
