I'm very happy that I don't have kids to raise, that I would have to try to explain this to. Everything you've taught them about how people are supposed to behave has been violated very publicly by these people who are supposed to be "Leadership." How do you explain sociopathy to a 10-year-old?
I guess you're past the point of being able to learn anything new, wal. Everything for you is a matter of Faith, not reason. I suppose it gets you to Heaven, but it makes you hard to talk to.
