I don't know what kind of people surround you, but I feel terribly sorry for you if you can't see the decency of the majority of the people in this country.

Can't you think of a more effective method of debate than to make silly assumptions about my surroundings? The people around me are fine and believe what I do -- that the number of moral people is certainly less than one-third, and sliding down the slippery slope. The complacency of people and the tolerance and unwillingness to protest against evil in our society (while at the same time attending church, in many cases) is the subtle kind of creeping deterioration in morals that disturbs me. [There are a very few encouraging things, such as the reported climb in numbers of women against abortion].

Well, if you are surrounded by two thirds of the people who are NOT decent, good people, you're living in the wrong place. I've found that nine-tenths of the people are decent, kind, hard working, and God loving.

All you had to do was watch this country after 9-11 and see what the hearts were made of. I think you might well have a problem with discernment, or perhaps you have an ego problem where, if people don't think exactly like you they must be "evil".

There is plenty of evil in this world without you trying to manifest it where it doesn't exist.
