Goodness...Hate does seem to be a form of insanity. Goodness and love are stronger than hate and far less lonely. I'm sure of that. The three men who tried to protect the young women and Rachel Macy are living proof. She didn't run off the train in fear but stepped forward to help one of the wounded men. These tears are healing.

Thank you.<br /><br />To me, one point you make is most important: in the face of so much hatred and ignorance, we have to focus on the good people. We have to, because they are proof that no matter how dark it has gotten, there is still good and it will not be overwhelmed.

I think good vs. evil is a constant struggle. It will be a struggle as long as there are people.<br /><br />The assailant was yelling in court, too, did you see that? A completely irrational nut.<br /><br />I hope if I am ever confronted with such a situation I have the bravery to respond the way those guys did.
