What We Have Learned, We Have Unlearned

I wrote the blog on the Duke rape case last night. After sleeping on it overnight, I am still frustrated at those that would cast judgement without knowing the whole story.

Sure, there is a law for freedom of speech; I understand that. But, you know, it's bad enough that we must have laws that say, "Hey, come on now. Let's not kill each other." It'd be quite pathetic if we must have laws that say, "Hey, when you see people down in the dumps, you AT LEAST don't go kick them or spit in their faces or call them names to ridicule them."

The US education system can be quite disappointing at times in certain aspects, however, I do have faith that they taught all of us at the on-set, at the beginning, in kindergarten that we must be courteous and decent to each other as human beings, as it is important for an orderly society. I am convinced that we have all been taught the essentials in life as youngsters.
