A Lack of Indignation

It seems to me that we are a culture that has lost the notion of righteous indignation. I see an administration that labels any critic unpatriotic, corporate leaders who come up with scam after scam to feather their nests, and government officials so corrupt that they must go into hiding.

The only place to find indignation is by listening to assorted comedians as they try to make a comic turn of this sad state. Why are the interviewers so polite? The first question I'd ask nearly any politician I encountered is, Do your really believe that? So many spew unfettered drivel that is nothing more than an ideological chant that it seems they believe if repeated enough might give birth to truth.

If this is the best we have to offer as a culture, then there is little hope for we are doomed to be mired in delusion. Do not stand for it. When you see a wrong, speak to the moral vacuousness of that wrong. Hold people accountable. Consider the effort to make the ten commandments visible in public places. Are those who advocate that willing to live by them? Remember, thow shalt not bear false witness. Live by that one alone and there would be no campaign commericals.
