Desert versus Identity, Bryan Caplan | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty:
Human beings evolved in small bands.� Group identity - and group identity's tendency to corrupt our sense of justice -� is in our DNA.� Once you learn this harsh truth, though, you can, should, and must compensate for your immoral urges.� Review your judgments of out-group members for draconian harshness.� Review your judgments of in-group members - yourself included - for maudlin absolution.� You won't make a lot of friends, but you will be a better person.
