12. I'm afraid that many LEOs are just sociopaths.

I think some of them chose the profession for the wrong reasons, have a violent streak in them.

For women, and especially for women of culture, our very history makes it easier to come down on anyone who is historically beaten up (literally and figuratively).

I think of it as a bad gene in our collective cultural DNA, embedded but curable.

The fact that in other nations people live in greater peace and safety tells me it's nurture, not nature.

We have to fight it, malaise, raise our children and ourselves and our neighbors as we know we need to be.
