Subject: RE: BS: So much=overwhelmed + no outrage?
I think we must be very careful about inciting and encouraging outrage. If the audience is say middle-aged women, it might result in a flurry of calls to congresspeople and letters to the editor. If it is young men, it can lead to violence, threatening behavior, broken windows etc., and it is not hard to incite them. Then the situation deteriorates..they have time in jail, their lives are forever altered...the neighborhood can be left in ruins, etc. etc. Of course same with the old ladies but less likely I think. mg
