The Thinking Housewife: Therapeutic Tears

Dr. Fleming criticizes that sort of sentimentalism that passes for morality and obliterates all distinctions between social relations. Sentimentalism seems to be part and parcel of Uhmerican narcissism. It is much easier to feel good and to show emotion then it is to be virtuous and act accordingly. Character is reduced to thinking correctly and feeling correctly, and since the barriers to these are relatively low, many Uhmericans believe that they themselves are good, even if they fail greater tests. (I'll grant that they also need to follow the more fundamental precepts of justice, i.e. do not murder or steal, but what of other sins against justice, like verbal sins against one's neighbor?)

What do those gathered do the next day, in order to revivify their communities and to stall their decline? Probably not much. The murder of a young person is an evil and a cause of sadness, but is anything being done to prevent this from happening again? As Laura Wood and others have pointed out, the feminist indoctrination of young women, that they are invincible and can do anything, continues.
