Of late, I have been pondering what many have pondered before. Have we as a nation lost our moral compass?
It seems as if in our search for acceptance, freedom and inclusion, anything goes. We not only have left our sense of judgment, we seem not to know what to judge.
We see more and more examples of erratic and bizarre behavior. Sandy Hook, the kidnappings in Cleveland, the bombings in Boston, and countless other events have come to our attention. Plus all of the business malpractices of the past decade, which may not have directly killed people, but indirectly shortened their lives through stress, loss of life savings, etc.
Where is the indignation? Have we become desensitized so that nothing bothers us?
There is a tendency to protect the rights of the individual to the extreme. In defense of freedom we are perhaps becoming one of the most dangerous countries in the world.
It is time to wake up and ask ourselves. What do we believe? Whom do want to protect? What do we want to protect? Where are we going as a nation?
