Indeed, it is very sad. But how fortunate my family feels to live across a mountain range from most of this depravity, in a flyover-type place where families and God are still paramount at time of this writing. Actual two-parent homes in many cases, signups for VBS already, baseball and softball games, Washington apples. My family headed to a college fastpitch tournament later today.
I like the picture you paint. There are a lot of places (still) where humans are human and life is good.
