Where Are the Men?
We recognize the problem. Will we admit the cause?
By Joel Hilliker
Video recently emerged of a black man behaving erratically and threateningly on a crowded New York City subway. When he seated himself next to two women, they got up to move away, but the man forcibly grabbed one of them and sat her back down. The woman, eyes closed and terror on her face, repeatedly mouthed, “Help me.” Nobody flinched. They watched (and filmed) as this man, probably no more than 150 pounds, then shouted at her, grabbed her by the hair, and shoved her.
“What does it say about society that not a single man stepped in to help—they allowed it to happen?” Rita Panahi of Sky News Australia asked. That is a terrific question.
The answer is that society is suffering from a dangerous dearth of men willing to stand up as protectors. Panahi rightly called this “another sign that our civilization is in serious decline.”
A much graver incident was the mass murder in Uvalde, Texas. The scene is sickening beyond imagination: A deranged 18-year-old murdering 19 third- and fourth-graders and two teachers, while 19 armed police officers stand outside the room.......

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night."
The quote is from the Psalms, in the Bible.

OBSERVATION;Our political leaders, are not [not good leaders].
Our bean counters [and collectors of beans] are.
Bean counters.
We live in a society which has taught many 'ordinary' people,
to be, afraid of the law [of the political state],
and to be afraid of the authority of the political state.
But where, in our society, are those who are willing to protect 'ordinary' people,
....from LAWLESSNESS [e.g. from common theft and criminal violence] ?

Q.Who are you angry with, everyday ?
