1. Well said.
I've been talking with people lately and telling them how uncomfortable I am with all of the hate...

I feel it, too. It's unhealthy. Completely.

2. Our emotions are always our easiest targets
Want to manipulate the people? Enrage them. It turns off the rational mind. Appeal to things that inspire kneejerk reactions. Learn to string such things together and you learn to control people.

3. Add a dash of religion - and stir!
