"The more we choose to look away, the bigger the evil grows"

one pissed off liberal continues his roll...
Because ignoring uncomfortable or unflattering truths does not make them go away. They remain, festering, waiting to be recognized and dealt with.

[...]

When you let things slide, you make things worse. The more we choose to look away, the bigger the evil grows. I never thought I would live to see the day when Americans, ANY Americans, would support torture. Well we’re there now, many of us do, at least under some circumstances.

If I thought for one moment that telling you happy stories would ever change anything, believe me I would. It would be a lot less wear and tear on me.

I want with all my heart and soul to fix what’s wrong with America, and to not sweep it under the rug. We cannot fix what’s wrong if we can’t bring ourselves to face it. We have to look it squarely in the eye, examine it and dissect it – if we are ever going to fix it.

what can i do but agree...?
