Or are they all appeals to peoples' most fearful, bigoted, ignorant emotions?
I've come to believe that most strong emotions involve some or all of the above, and certainly those that people rally around when presented with something they aren't comfortable with. I feel the same way regarding issues with cloning, stem cells, large-catchment drug tests, and other issues in the biotech field that are demonized.
