Perhaps the people in the center are the ones to have nightmares, worrying
about the attacks they are about to experience from the far left and far
right. I think the study is provocative, but the summary of its findings
makes it hard to draw any larger inferences.
Memes can provoke counter-memes.
PS. I can't help but smile when I read Univ. of Stirling's email legal
disclaimers and warnings. I wonder what the dreams are like of the folks who
drafted this one :-)
