By and large, I think we would be better off without them because they are devisive.

They may not really dramatically change a persons viewpoint, but simply move them farther to one side or another.
Actually, there was a study some time ago about elections (I can't remember who did it) that basically said that broadcasting didn't really change anyones mind, but rather re-enforced their decisions on how to vote. I suspect, although I'm not going to do a study to prove it, that the same would be true of these screamers that have become so popular.

I think you should do a study. Since you have so much free time on business trips.
