People always go for the most controversial topic. Its probably some kind of evolutionary thing. Yelling and shouting at the opposition. Thats why its hard to see anything substantional done to stop things like this. When both sides are at each others throats how can a consensus be made on anything. Sad really.

And the moderates, what chance do we have? We arent interesting enough because our arguments dont make the blood boil of either side. They automatically place you in one camp or the other.
Most people only react to "loud noises".
