The Amoral
In the news there is evidence of a terrible disconnect between actions of the US government and any sense of human decency. Torture - relished by leaders, rape at KBR - ignored for years by the Department of Justice [sic] as further assaults occur and more victims come forward, scientific truths suppressed in NASA and elsewhere, researchers attacked for reporting Iraqi death estimates..
The aggregate view is sickening.
What to do? One thing we can do is work continuously at keeping one another informed, blowing aside the media smokescreen with all the facts we can get from all the sources we can trust.
Build a community of trust. Encourage listening to one another with an open mind and being ready to admit we are wrong when that happens.
