Thanks. One thing I forgot to mention is that this becomes a self-perpetuating cycle by turning those holding the opposing viewpoint into enemies: if you're against torture, you are putting my children in harms way, if you are for gay marriage, you are destroying my family and community, etc.

Of course the real test of whether or not an individual learns anything from this concept is if you can identify how it's been used to affect your views.

Identifying it in those you disagree with is easy. How about how it affects you?
