27. I guess that I'm talking about a radicalizing effect.
If people want to change a corrupt system, and the legitimate means of doing that are taken away from them, they may not simply lie down. There's a possibility that they can become radicalized and begin to view violence as their only alternative to achieve the necessary change.

Already, I've noticed my willingness to "make something up" to effect a change WHEN I KNOW I'M RIGHT, has increased. I've witnessed liars and cheaters prosper and the meek and the just suffer. The envelope, for me, has been pushed. Facts, schmacts! It's winning that matters.
