Seeing The Forest While Looking At The Trees

Bret McAtee / The Backwater Report:
In the past week we have seen three different events on the National scale that have driven a great deal of conversation in this country. First there was the Don Imus imbroglio. Second there was the Duke Lacrosse players vindication. Third there was the mass murder at Virginia Tech University. When looking at these three recent events the question arises as to whether or not they have anything in common. Is there any ideological mortar that serves to give some unitary meaning to these diverse current events? I believe there is.
