I see smartphone videos tweeted where people are doing all manner of hateful, violent acts, and I don't understand it. I can barely understand what they're even saying, much less the activity. I don't understand the motivation for it, nor the decision to act on it they way they do. Does having that opinion, or reaction, place me on some left/right spectrum for perpetuity? I don't see how.
And, I don't recall seeing this kind of social division, and mass public demonstration and violence, all over the country, since the Vietnam era, @tarheel0910 . Maybe being a toddler at the time has clouded my memory.
