The Temperature Rises

This is extremely disturbing, and must not be ignored.  Below are two editorials appearing in today's (July 19, 2013) Dallas Morning News.  They have diametrically opposed messages, and reflect the seriously alarming degree of polarization of American society today.  Both writers are African-American men.  One is a rational voice of intelligence and reason regarding justice and the rule of law.  The other is borderline sedition (perhaps over the line) in attempting to incite a civil war.  Apparently a lot of people in America do not know which is which.  A lot more people may not be paying attention.  This is getting frighteningly out of hand.  Unfortunately for us and especially our children and grandchildren, more and more people seem to be listening to the wrong voices.  Where is this country heading?  We had better figure out how to change the course we are on before it is too late.  The clock is ticking.
