Thanks 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.




To 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.
