Americans can, and should, do better
In the movie “Mass Appeal,” Jack Lemmon plays a pastor who gives the following sermon:
“My homily this morning will be exactly thirty seconds long.
“That’s the shortest homily I ever preached in my life, but it’s also the most important homily. I want to make just three points.
“First, millions of people in the world are hungry and homeless.
“Second, most people in the world don’t give a damn about that.
“Third, many of you are more disturbed by the fact that I just said “damn” in the pulpit than by the fact that I said there are millions of hungry and homeless people in the world.”
Such is the twisted moral view of this MAGA administration.........
