There is a "commonality" amongst the once-unthinkable acts that we now see being reported more and more frequently.
I sense that most folks here see it for what it is, and that many traditional-minded Americans of Euro descent understand, as well.
However, there remains the inability to come right out and speak frankly about the source of the problem.
Why can't we?
To do so would shatter one of the precepts about America and the documents that created it that we've been taught to cherish since our youth.
The only problem is, that particular precept is... a false one, as it has been since it was first put on paper back around 1776.
So... we keep quiet about such things.
That's understandable, as folks don't want to be labeled with "the 'r' word", which in these times has become the worst brand of all.
But it's worthwhile to keep in mind what a wise woman once wrote:
"We can evade reality. What we cannot evade are the consequences of evading reality".
The above story is but one more of those "consequences".
