Dear Editor:
Does a person have to be a pessimist, outright cynic - or worse, a fan of the Book of Revelations (excluding me) - to notice just how disturbingly twisted (though collective society conveniently becomes 'morally relative' about it) humanity, also as a collective, has been, is and especially may or even likely will become?
We have consumers arriving in large droves to pay a small fortune (again, a relative term) in exchange for receiving an obvious thrill of some sort and to some degree by the huge, silver-screen image of a person getting sliced and/or hacked to pieces.
And, of course, there are other worrisome (in)humanity facts, e.g. the growing popularity of virtually bare-fisted Ultimate Fighting.
Yes, obviously there are exceptions and sometimes very many; however, exactly what are they (again, some more relative terms, but the point continues, nonetheless), a small minority, going to do? "Take over" the large majority to "make things right?"
