The great divide in our culture at the moment isn't political, or ideological, or socio- or economic, but is moral, or spiritual. Two generations ago, say, back in the immediate post-WW2 era, the election of Ike, around there, there was still what many have called a "Christian concensus" in that while many people may not have been believers, they still accepted many of the key moral teachings of our Judeo-Christian cultural tradition. No more. Many people have pitched common decency, common respect for others, respect for life, over the side. That's the main schism in our society today -- those who essentially respect others, respect life, elevate decency, act with self-control and civility, and those who do not. And we're accused of forcing our values upon others.
