In our attempts to curb crime in America, have we misunderstood the problem? Malcolm Gladwell explores the motivations behind violent acts.
“More than anything else, we need to orient our lives around the shout ‘Holy, Holy, Holy!’ That shout, if it is only inside the church, bounces off the walls and comes to nothing. The cry must be uttered outside as well.”
Best read as a reasoned call to action, not a question. And we will need vivid terms for where we are going — oligarchy and fascism — as well as what we are seeking — freedom and equality.
