At this same time, sensationalist and partisan elements of the media are willing to blow everything way out of proportion.

I know, lamestream media is always blowing everything out of proportion.  I mean, who hasn't donned a swastika and terrorized some black clergymen in a bit of youthful folly?

Hmm...  I grew up in the awakening.  There was a good deal of youthful folly back them.  I'm assuming youngsters, and the press, haven't changed that much.

But by all means, grab a sign join, a group and march around if it turns you on.  I'd be curious to find out why or why not.
