As we deal with the accumulated toxic waste deriving from certain cultural issues—various racial enmities, mistreatment of the opposite sex, the calculated insolence of the rich over the poor, the ingrained envy of the rich by the poor—we have to beware of our limitations. There are three responses to this kind of thing that we …
