When you confront within a group, the witnesses tend to amplify your words. Something that you say in private might not get through to them; they tune you out, consciously or unconsciously.

How to Fight Fair with Your Kids ... and Win
A face of naked evil
Turns the young boy's blood to ice

The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance
