2. It seem inevitable: Declare a group "The Other" or "Less Worthy"...
... based on an inherent trait... then sit back and watch as they become a target.

But I'm sure the preachers, politicians and professional bigots never anticipated that. Goodness gracious golly, no.

:grr:

3. Yes. I have lived with it, even had to defend my home from the
kreestians before. I have had friends who were butchered no exaggeration there at all, one case was not even listed as a murder was ruled suicide..um do you know anyone who can dismember and castrate themselves and then cut their own throats?
