We live in a sound-bite world, where it's become common enough for a comment to be taken out of context and turned into outrage.<br /><br />Too many people are looking for a reason to be outraged by anything the see from an opposing philosophy as a moral justification for their position. It's <i>easier</i> to be outraged, because it's easier to react than it is to think. The fact that we've allowed for reaction rather than thought to be an appropriate response to anything is a sad reflection on us all.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
