What does it say about Western capitalist society that children cannot walk to and from school without fear of being disappeared or tortured and raped.
I come from a tradition where kids walked several miles to their school in all kinds of weather. It was that important.
I suspect there have been serial killers and predators in every culture, and most societies have a way of legitimizing this behavior - in the US, we allow them into the military and send them to 3rd world countries. As I read more and more over the years I find myself concluding this is the natural state of humanity and only conscious effort allows us to live in peace.
