I hear so much of how society is getting so cruel.
I really think though, that we are more outraged now at violence than we ever have been.
I don't think packing a lunch to watch the public hanging would go over very well these days, nor would a lynching, or witch trials, or impaling people for the "entertainment" of watching them die, feeding Christians to the lions... I'm not saying this kind of hideous cruelty does not exist sometimes its just well disguised sometimes not. I'm saying its at least in most cases not legal, and not tolerated. I think that does show a great deal of improvement
and for me hope.
