Mtnboomer,

I like your post. The awareness factor alone is worth the read.
Reading all the posts reminded me of a quote I read.

“All that is necessary for evil to triumph, said Burke, is for good men to do nothing; and most good men nowadays can be relied upon to do precisely that. Where a reputation for intolerance is more feared than a reputation for vice itself, all manner of evil may be expected to flourish.”
― Theodore Dalrymple
