You can't, and you don't have to. It's their problem and their responsibility. They have the right to do whatever they want within their sovereign territory, for better or for worse.

I feel drawn to this post. I find it difficult not to reply.

You are right. It is reasonable to try to do good within your immediate social circle.

You can still feel bad for situation that afflicts others AND could very well end up being part of culture in US.

My first post was strictly political. Now, about health: it is not good or desirable to feel bad about things you can do nothing about. Any therapist will tell you that.

I am arguing self-preservation. What you seem to think is completely detached from you, could very well end up on you rdoorstep.

Is that not worth contemplating and worth feeling bad about; if only for a little while?
