I will let you define the focus. The following quotes and articles may stir the dark areas of your mind:
Quote:When Alex Haley visited the Trinity campus in 1991, he spoke of his Playboy interview with George Lincoln Rockwell, the former head of the American Nazi Party. Observed this graduate of Brown University and former Air Force pilot, the easiest thing in the world to sell is hate.

Quote:Why We Hate
08/29/02
August 29/02: Hate, the darkest of our emotions, shatters relationships, undermines communities, ruins lives, and saps the health of all who experience it. When coupled with our extraordinary talent for fashioning tools of utmost precision and effectiveness, hate becomes the single most destructive power on Earth.

Quote:If it's an "ugly" divorce, the emotional mess can be worse, because what was once love may now be hate and there's a thin line between the two. If you cross over the line, then the damaging emotions of hate are as intense as the healthy emotions associated with love.

Mapleleaf, Your use of the words "the dark areas of your mind" seems rather provocative. It got a smile from me, but as a minority with experience with bigotry, discrimination, and hate, during my youth, I'll have to give this some thought before I express an opinion. c.i.
No more complex subject exists. Like CI I would need more time to think.
Hate is no more destructive than love.
Hate and love are both necessary to the essence of man and the survival of the human species.
