I apologize if my post implied that a nostalgia for the days of segregation or other social ills. That wasn't my intent. Perhaps we've always been rotten to the core, and it only appears worse at this period of history because this is the only one I've lived through. My intent was to point to deficient compassion and love of one's fellow man as the primary culprit in many of our current social woes, including school shootings.

No offense intended.
