One of the truest measurements of a great society doesn’t come from how well we revere the strongest of us, but how well the strong protect those who can’t protect themselves. Every failure to do so only serves to diminish the luster of the great society. I’m not writing this with expectations of a response, or even with much hope that anyone will care. I’m only writing this so that if the worst befalls my family, I can die knowing that someone was made aware that such a failure occurred.
