Moral turpetude

Over reacting seems to be the norm now.

Any lack of discretion, any variation on perfection is no longer just not tolerated, it is seized and held up to the world for ridicule while demands for not just restitution, but retribution are made.

I do believe that we should be held accountable for our actions, but I find this to be a frightening trend.

It goes beyond common sense and begins to look like the witch hunts of the past when innocent people were tortured and hung, or burned to assuage the discontent of a people.

As corruption reaches higher and higher levels, as terrorists become more and more outrageous,  I think we are striking out in exaggerated moral outrage because we feel so helpless to make changes where they are needed.

Over reacting has never served anyone well.
