| I have assiduously avoided talking politics on the internet or any other venue. I’m a pacifist at heart but I’m a pacifist who can be pushed only so far before I fight back. For years now… almost the entire 8 years… I have wondered why people hate George W. Bush so much. It’s unrealistic at its best description, let alone in the context of this great democratic society which we all tout. In my quest to understand this phenomenon, I’ve been scouring the internet and arrived at a site which puts it in perspective(a psychological perspective, which is what I was searching for):

While I don’t necessarily agree with everything the good Doc says, most of it makes a lot more sense than the unreasoning hatred does. At the same time I have hope; hope that I’m not alone in my sentiments and thoughts about current events in the world because there are tons of links to other sites with similar thoughts.Â
It is not a site for the faint at heart, for sure, and much of it may even make you angry. It is a site guaranteed to get you thinking about the world if you are open to anything but your own opinion, which may or may not have been formed under the coercion of mainstream media.
If anyone has links to opposite views within a psychological context, such as this site’s, I’d appreciate it. I like to look at both sides.
