Losing The Last Vestiges Of Our Moral Fabric

(The Huffington Post) – The unspeakable atrocities that are happening in South Sudan are unfathomable, not only because of the scope of savagery in the war between the Dinka and Nuer peoples, but also because it defies every tenet of our civilized being in which we take so much pride. Civilization, however, has hardly penetrated the first layer of our thick skin.

No. We have in fact become increasingly immune and unmoved by the savagery which is unfolding before our eyes in so many countries.
