My utter frustration while observing the typical knee-jerk, emotional, short-attention-span response to current affairs in America is about maxed out. Like so many Pavlovian dogs, the general public responds exactly as the mainstream media and political puppet-masters desire when they "ring the bell". This time, the bell is labeled "Evil SOB Trump Separates Families!" Without ever verifying any facts or taking a breath to find out what is actually going on, Americans respond like trained seals begging for a slimy sardine. Never mind that the separation of families has been going on for years, even (Gasp!) during the Obama administration--all of it, in fact. Ignore the fact that thousands upon thousands of children were "incarcerated" during Obama's tenure. Completely absolve the parents of these children of any responsibility whatsoever for their plight. Turn a blind eye to the fact that gang members kidnap children and bring them across the border,
