yes, I do 'read' hate here on ihub . I'm lucky because I have never heard it from any real people, have you ? I think that is one of reasons why some of us post here as thank goodness that type of talk is easily dispensed with on this board ....If you have noticed the other political boards posts have dropped off due to that reason. I say " let them rage with each other " ..I can't resist slapping them ... then, I leave and return to reading sanity and reality ..........sigh - ;))
personally, I am fortunate - hate will never 'move' to my neighborhood. hate resides in the rural areas mostly ....
I have witnessed people helping each other throughout my life and somehow 'politics' has never come into it ...
just as you see, today, bush joining clinton and obama to help Haiti .. .. politics is not a factor ....
can hear it in the background, 'i do it all the time with real life bodies'.
anyway, divided we fall further, but that's cool as long as my adversary doesn't expect me to help him in his time of need. hate and all you know.
I'm sorry you live with that type of attitude in your community and apparently people who back it up ...
