Social and political correctivist of American culture rave the shrillest at the dumbing down of society and as always the criticism is selective. Which is to mean, when it furthers their personal goals and ambitions.
The issue of accountability and responsibility is the red flag waved before the bull of the populace on hot button issues forces for maintaining the status quo, that business as usual utilize in diverting, distracting the collective Democratic focus off the essential issue. That lack of Governmental responsibility which determines the order of life within the Political-Economy.
It should make a difference to those correctivist that emotionalism is substituted for informed reasoning.
It is high time a position is taken against that tendency, that insidious exercise of undermining the concept of justice and the legitimization of vigilantism and vindictivism. Justice isn't simply the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth rejoinder that is the conservative shrill of tough on crime. Justice in a Democratic pluralistic society has to advance the Republicanism of it's nature, It has to recognize the humanness of it's condition.
Yes society can call in it's accounts but let us dispense with the mystification and demonization.
