Here's why the political hate has grown exponentially in this country the last 10 years
It's all Internet. This occurred to me today. The Internet has given a faceless, anonymous crowd a vehicle to spew their hate all over the place -- and 99% of these far right and far left freaks on the blogosphere would not have the courage to so much as fart in another person's direction if it was not for the anonimity of the Internet. The Internet has ushered in a completely new age of humanity, with so much wonderful information out there that was not readily available when I was growing up. But the negative repercussions have been very signigicant -- it has created an entire culture of cowardly, pathetic, in-Mama's-basement types of far right and far left freaks trying to claim they have some significance because they can spew out a tiny bit more hate than the next freak. Oh well, it IS progress in the sense that the Internet has very much advanced the world's intelligence through all of the information, and I guess we just couldn't help thru the same process to create a few unfortunate negative after-effects, although in this case, those pathetic human beings have played a huge role in creating the current Climate of Hate that we see in our American political discourse. But as I always say, who cares -- I'm an Independent, so I take it from both extremes, and am perfectly willing to shoot the HATE right back at their sorry asses. I gots no problems with that shit!
