like, if some ethnic or other group of people thought they were better than others, and wanted to rig government policy to adversely affect other ethnic or other groups, and tell them what they can and can't do with their own bodies?

but.. maybe I'm being unrealistic, and that would never happen.

..or maybe.. ..just maybe.. you're caught in a viscous loop of which you are a primary contributing party - where you are hurt by the world, so you lash out at people who aren't a part of the problem, and see enemies everywhere - thereby relegating yourself to an unmanageable situation that is only partially (but still significantly) of your own making.

maybe.. ..just maybe.. you have to take responsibility for your own situation, even though it's not your fault, but just you being caught up in the larger evolutionary sweep of life.

Are other people also a part of the problem? sure. But you can't address it if you're off-balance.

You have any examples of this being done?
