[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Thanks.

I had no idea that making what I considered to be a fairly benign, conservative observation on a conservative, pro-family, pro-God, pro-tradition forum would prove to be so inflammatory.

Perhaps I was a little aggressive with my remark, but it is one thing to make a general comment about loss of cultural values and increasing number(are they?) of such incidents but another thing to blame it on women and children, somehow. Infinitely worse is the tacit justification of such acts that you seemed to offer, and I am not the only one to feel this, clearly. Perhaps you merely misarticulated your position but if not, then I was serious in saying that you need a great degree of self-examination and/or help. All this at the cusp of this terrible evil that has been orchestrated.
