The problem today, is the American people have come to admire accomplishments of the past, more than they revere the ideals that made them possible in the first place. Too many, have no consciousness of the ominous consequences of a failed republic. Whilst for many life has become a struggle, it could be worse. And in today's world, much worse. Many who become entangled in the web's of hatred & resentment, have no idea of the outcome of their reactionary machinations, whereby inner demons are too easily externalized & projected onto an "evil other." In any case, most often the innocent suffer disproportionately to the guilty. Just look to the recent localized event that gave rise to nationwide destruction, whereby the "remedy" far exceeded any transgression. For justice to be justice, a response must be commensurate with any real or perceived transgression. From her beginning, America has always viewed vigilante justice as an injustice. We abandon due process, wherein calm clarity may have time to repair the breech, to our peril. May cooler heads prevail.
