64. Something is wrong with our whole philosophy

Mon Feb 6, 2017, 05:49 PM

Feb 2017

When we must allow into our midst those who find the very idea of kindness and decency repulsive.

Worse, we allow them power.

We (that is our whole society and in fact the whole world) need to start thinking about lines that should never be crossed.

The 1st Amendment is important, yes, but we can't let terrible things constantly be done to others just because someone has an opinion.

Hitler had an opinion about the Jews.
