Is it as simple as depth of emotions? A NYTimes story explains that some people who go through

trauma and ptsd end up going through new growth where they interconnect with the world better. Think of all the GIs coming home from WWII. Women too went through a lot during that war. Look at the liberal democracy they built in the next 35 years. Now look at how shallow the emotions of the GOP are and what they are trying to do to the country. Is this why Bush tried to run a war that required no sacrifice of ordinary Americans?

By attacking Obama for supporting Trayvon, the gop are protecting the divides that have

worked to help them get elected again and again. They just claim we are living in a post racial society, when we are not. Thus they try and stop a discussion on racial events, that might result in understanding and healing taking place, so that their racist 'Southern Strategy' still works for them.
