“You are right, of course. Except for one thing. Most folk are decent, even a fair number of those on the left.”
I’m truly sorry to have to disagree with the assertion that “most folks are decent.” Decency goes hand in hand with morality. We are living in an amoral culture that doesn’t understand decency or morality...they only understand what makes them feel good is OK. Which is wrong. I would say that less than 30% of the U.S. citizens have any real concept of morality and decency.
Otherwise, this type of trash about Sarah Palin would never have been published. And “reputable” news sources would not have given it coverage.
I’d put it a lot higher, but maybe I have just been lucky.
