Ha. Nope, sorry. This is related to that old principle... (via Dr. Phil ;)
noone can "make" you mad... they can do something that would in 10 out of
11 billion people would result in an angry response, but thats not a "make".
Can you suggest consensus? Yes. Can you attempt to cause conflict?
Certainly... But theres a step in the middle there that people miss. An
analogy would be: (as people have often stated ) "We fight to protect our
freedom" Conquest equals freedom? Dont think so. Conquest = Wealth =
Material freedom/perception of freedom/relative freedom... etc. Thats
perhaps more correct.
Can you make yourself mad? If so, then someone can make you mad.

It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth
living for?
