"Compassion isn't a principle, but a practice, arising out of the recognition of our own complexities and contradictions."

A Nation of Sheep
The message of individual salvation (Come forward to be saved) has done enormous damage to American culture - we have lost what little solidarity we ever had, and these days, in parts of the nation where this individual salvation message has taken deep root, it's everyone for themselves. Whether it be jobs, clean water or health-care, you're on your own, just like you're on your own with Jesus. The Koch Brothers have played upon this mentality with great skill to their own advantage. A nation without solidarity is a nation of sheep easily fleeced.
