6. couldn't agree more

The less the labels mean and the more poorly they are defined, the more people identify with them and fight over them. It is a very strange and quite modern thing, from my observations. It is from the saturation of our lives with corporate sales and marketing programs, so that people are thinking in terms of brands? Or is it the desperate need to belong to a club, or a cult? Or is it the impact of Hollywood, causing people to feel a need to interpret the world by seeing simplistic good versus evil melodramas everywhere?
