It is so hard for me to embrace our current status — a government body and society (yes, the vast majority) that requires, even demands, the protection of the wolves, dolphins, piping plovers, eagles, whales, etc. as definte moral issues of protection yet balks at every mention or intimation of such a moral issue when the human race is mentioned.

What “very distinct unspoken ethos” has already been inserted into our society? Is already governing our representatives and occluding our vision?

America gets what it deserves. As a democratic society we rise and fall on the very decisions WE make. We cannot place the blame on “government” — we are such. We must be VERY careful about what we embrace…we are responsible as few other nations have ever had such a burden.
