This is the result of stupidity from the top down. Actually, the maliciousness of the stupidity is why I use the word moron. Any decency and reason is not required for the best of you (assuming you are American), and so you cannot avoid a worsening situation unless radical action is taken to stop it.

Take that for what you will. I see a country that accepts the violence that is being perpetrated against it from its rulers. A population of battered wives that make excuses for the abuse to continue.

I say this as a person that does not currently live under the fear of someone kicking in my door at 3am and putting a gun in my face. I like to think I can do better, but maybe I'm full of shit.
