I know our society is broken in some significant ways, but I like to think it's improving: I know people who are working very hard on it. Then I read something like the above and it is very hard to feel we're not actually regressing instead. And I don't want to be one of the people who shrugs and says, oh, well, welcome to life in a dystopia, but I don't know how to react constructively, either, except perhaps to write a lot of letters and vote and not be complacent; be angry and change things, I guess. But damn it.
