Group Deliberation Breeds Polarization
I know that we touched on this topic in our conversations, but I think that this link begins to bring to light the power and problem with poor group deliberations. We can certainly imagine being in the room when one of these groups meet. I doubt that there are naysayers or people speaking up to temper the emotion in the room. These groups certainly aren't making the best decisions. I wasn't completely surprised by the number of hate groups in Missouri, but I found the map quite interesting. Your thoughts on how groups can feed bad information.

I was not surprised to see how many hate groups there are.Especially in Missourri, just like in the times of war we were a split state.Everyone has an opinion about what is right, and if you ask them they all think they're right, funny how that works.I can understand why they start these hate groups, but what I can't understand is why nobody can stop them.Hate groups are wrong in so many ways, and if it wasn't for freedom of speech they would be destroyed. I think people in hate groups should be put in jail and counciling.I don't see any positive ideas and great public service by them, all I see is peoples (victims)lives being destroyed or worse yet murdered.It amazed me that someone was able to actually find where all these negative groups are and made a map, hopefully to just show how close and real it is.
