But that was my fundamental error when taking my sample group to be representative, back in '83. I know, I may be a cynic when it comes to things like that. But I watched the Milgram experiment and I listen to what the extreme rightwingers bawl at the top of their lungs and how they get more votes with every election. It will happen again. Anywhere, anyhow.
... until enough of us keep speaking out. Yes, Milgram's experiments paint a disheartening picture of us as a species, but progress doesn't happen in one lifetime. We do, however, see it.
