I just posted this comment over at my friend Leo A. Notenboom. He was talking about the tools that are being used to sow dissension and division between the left and the right, and I realized that *we* are the ultimate tools, the tools that both the far right and the far left are using to manipulate and hyper-sensitize us to spread whatever viewpoint with which they are inculcating us.  Those viewpoints are the contagion, and we are the vector transmitting and spreading that virus, infecting our fellow Americans so that the division spreads and hardens.  And it’s all very intentional. Don’t be a vector for this virus! Inoculate yourself and those around you by instead spreading facts, truth, awareness, and open-mindedness.
