People say that tragedy brings people together. I don't thing that's what it is. I think tragedy brings people to the same mindset, be it loss, grief, anger, revenge. And it is that shared mindset that unites people. So, after Sept. 11th, non-conservatives didn't just start liking Bush's politics; we just all agreed that there was something more important to come together for. There still is.

Of course, everyone who knows me knows that my number one political push is for the ending of the domestication of animals. Here is another situation that helps illustrate my point. Every now and then, you hear of these GreenPeace or other animal rights groups sneaking into zoos and letting all of the animals out of their cages...freeing them. Those same activist groups likely go home at night to their several dogs, cats, birds, etc. It's ok for them to cage animals in their own house, because they love them?
