When condition 4 happens among two rational people, there usually is a large world-view conflict. Take for example, two people looking at a rock. One insists that the rock is blue, the other that the rock is red. Neither can see the other's point of view, and thinks the other is insane. Though one of them is wearing red tinted sunglasses and the other blue tinted sunglasses. In this explain, the glasses are one's world-view and the rock is a political issue. One's world-view can heavily influence how data is interrupted on some issues, and some world views are incompatible on some issues, such as the Islam-Jewish land conflict.

If you only listen to the ads you have no idea what the real truths are. The ads are trying to scare people into further dividing us as a community. We have children out there that have all ready been adopted that are technically being raised by single parents when indeed they are in a grounded, two person safe household. Is it better to leave these kids in foster care or in dangerous households rather than to allow the non-traditional marriage to occur where they can live in safety and love in practice as well as in law? I dont see the benefit of anyone driving wedges between individuals or groups just because they are "different than me." The things that bother me the mostly are the ads.
