Small minded divisive average people tend to get what they deserve. But things are really bad when the people you want to elect, select, and hire to protect the public safety, health, and social security (as in all that good for the common good) are the very people from whom you would need to be protected if they got in. Of course, racism, sexism, fascism, ME-ism, US-ism, NOTTHEM-ism, and all the other ISMs you hold so dear, trumps everything--even common sense and Christ Like Behavior from avowed christians.
