We all know it happens. That isn't the question. The question is, are we ashamed that it happens?
You can tell a lot by knowing what someone is ashamed of.
Feeling appropriate guilt and rationalizing behaviors by instituting policies that justify and support them publicly are two different things. That difference makes all the difference between a society that can't always live up to its ideals and one that has forgotten where it put them.
Richard Thieme
