Morality Everyone's Talking About It.
Morality Is Hot.
For the briefest while this past spring, America enjoyed the kind of national group hug that other countries, usually Scandinavian, seem to excel at in times of high crisis. Aghast at Columbine, the nation huddled, held town hall meetings and wrote letters to the editor, lamented a culture of violence, and resolved to take action. Last Friday, the hug officially ended when a cranky House of Representatives killed its attempt at gun control legislation. The bill had been promoted as a major opportunity to curb violence, but in the end became the victim of vicious, partisan infighting. Luckily, other politicians have stepped in to save America's soul.
