Angry words are reasons that best friends become worst enemies, the reason that a mother or father can really despise their kid. You see the thing is when you argue or talk to another person about a touchy subject, you might tend to say things you don't mean and by doing this you can offend or even put down a person.
Its like with the health care debate, you have two different view points on how things should be run and these two opposing sides are very passionate about what they believe. And as much as passion is appreciated in today's society when it comes to your work or your family, it can be detrimental if it is used in the process of an argument. Because for the most part, when you argue with angry logic, no one can prove you wrong, you'll just keep going and going until not only you feel as though you won the battle, but in addition to that you have to feel as though you have destroyed your opponent in the process. Its kinda like one of those untouchable drunks you see in the movies they just keep going and going because they think that nothing will negative will happen, and then they wake up and have no idea how they got where they are or what has happened.
In contrast though, anger can do some positive things. What i mean by this is that in some cases anger can spark that interest and give you the will to fight for what you believe. But there is a fine line between fighting for what you believe in and being so one sided and bent on your own beliefs that you hurt your opposition and deny them the right to have their own beliefs.
I mean you never know if you give someone the chance to share their beliefs they might persuade you to change yours.
