Is Your Silence Deliberate?

After awhile, one must wonder, exactly WHY people are silent about moral issues. They often claim ignorance upon confrontation with reality, but after observing so many of them protesting political matters about which they really ARE ignorant, ignorance hardly appears an excuse for failing to speak up when entire populations look the other way when morals get trodden under the collective feet of one's community. Are people ashamed to admit that they are racist, or that their own communities engage in crime? Is keeping things the way "they've always been" a valid reason to reject morality? Or are the people who do this more interested in covering their own unlawful behaviors?
 

Possible Reasons For Parental Involvement

 

The young lady who made this video had an excellent idea. Suppose each sexual assailant's manipulative statement or threat to his victim in order to keep her from reporting his crime was made public? What do you think your sons and their friend said to their victim a couple of years ago? How many times has the routine been repeated inside of your house?

 

What were you doing at eighth grade graduation this year? You do not have any children young enough to be in eighth grade. Was it just ingratiation as usual, or were you making sure no students discussed your childrens' activities? Was there another victim you wanted to intimidate or scare into silence?

 

It's always easier to maintain an illusion of "rightness" if you successfully ingratiate yourself to the faculty of the local school, isn't it? That way, your adult son(s) can date fourteen year old girls without anyone necessarily looking askance at your family. Seeing you at an eighth grade graduation was a surprise, though. Your children are much too old to use eighth grade as a dating pool.
