seems to crave fear and hate; they can't seem to, or simply don't want to, envision a world or do their part to create a world without them. If it's not the commies coming to get us, it's the terrorists, or the muslims, or the gays. It's always got to be somebody.

And, of course, those at the top who profit off of that fear and hate feed it skillfully.
