No...but you might understand how no one lives at the North Pole. You might even be able to comprehend why the Inuit have 37 different words to describe snow.
No...but you might gain a bit of sympathy waking up in a hospital bed all burned up with no recollection of the event for others who have suffered likewise.
No...but you would have a better appreciation for the effect of "bad things happen to those with the best intentions"

"US vs THEM" sprinkled with the opposition being dehumanized.
Every culture, every nation...every religion, wherever you find people...even in the school yard you see the beginning whispers of our nature blooming forth into atrocity. You see it budding here now in America. Before you go to the defense of the right or left...STOP. Just stop...though on the left if you try to stop you are likely to get labeled a traitor and get demonized worse than what the conservatives are receiving.
The only reason I believe we haven't seen worse yet is because the conservatives are where most of the guns are.
There are no Conservatives. (okay there is a handful here or there).. I wish the Liberals calling themselves conservative would find a new term / name.
