HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

This essay by William Rivers Pitt is heart-touching.  What creates bullies/monsters in our world?  I  have often wondered.  My kids were bullied when we moved from one city to another and they changed schools.  They were not only bullied by the kids but also by the nun teachers.  When I saw that, I took them out of the Catholic school.  Just look at all the bullies in Congress, naysayers and obstructionists whose hatred for Obama leads them to rather see the country go down in tatters than to dig in and help change things for the better.  What a sad state of affairs.
