We are that far gone.

- jrmg 3y agoThanks for that link. Points 8, 9 and 10 seem so appropriate. I often feel that we’re similarly in danger of forgetting the adage that “it is better to let the crime of a guilty person go unpunished than to condemn the innocent.” I’m not sure we really are ‘that far gone’ though. I’m hopeful that people just always feel like this a little, to greater and lesser extents. Both the world and America have been through darker periods in the past.
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoTo me that suggests that we need to go through another such dark episode before a cold slap of reality returns us all to more sensibility.
