It's a good point that people with skewed agendas use legitimate issues and sentiments to further their causes. <br />It's a natural reaction to demonize every thing we associate with persons or ideologies that have been responsible for wars and genocide. Guilt by association can produce a prejudice against ideas that might even be noble. <br />For example;leaving the mentally ill to wonder the streets in despair or do something that might seem like socialism; what to do. Well I guess we'll just pretend they don't exist because, God forbid, we can't do something that might be anti capitalist.Luchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03711073897831398677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846567313402731847.post-26959917773181108232010-03-15T13:52:02.630-07:002010-03-15T13:52:02.630-07:00Agreed.
