You're right, Crow Sister, not many of us have "knowingly harbored criminals who rape children." Probably none of us, in fact.

And that's how we demonize people. We find a fault in them that we don't have and then we state that fault in a way that makes it really sound outrageous, and then we can prove that we're wonderful and the other people are horrible. And it we make enough noise and sound righteous enough, maybe people won't notice our faults.

But as long as we continue to demonize people, we cannot work with them to make the world a better place.
