a society in decay, let me add
a note of personal despair:
While I think that there are
ways to ameliorate the decay,
they require money and will,
and consequently I don't
think they are likely to be
undertaken.
I don't know who killed
Jerry Weber or who raped my
daughter's roommate, or why
they acted as they did. But I
believe that they form part of
a pattern that begins very far
away. No doubt some people
are simply wicked, violent,
crazy or like being outlaws.
That will not change. But
most people, I think, given
food, shelter, ladders of oppor-
tunity in their lives, a sense
that they matter to their com-
munities and that their com-
munities care about them —
that there is some reason for
their lives — do not turn to
violent crime.
Or maybe that thesis is
totally wrong. Maybe $50 bil-
lion or $100 billion directed to
public works, family-renewal
and community projects, as
well as to increased police
protection, would have no ef-
fect on the citizenry's inner
life and physical safety. But
clearly we have not developed
the moral outrage necessary
to try it.
Speakers at Jerry Weber's
funeral service urged us to
concentrate on the meaning-
fulness of his life, rather than
the senselessness of his
death. Good advice, for the
senselessness raises agoniz-
ing theological, sociological
and personal questions. But
the senselessness is worth
remembering too, and what is
most senseless about the ran-
dom murders, rapes and mug-
gings that have become so
common in our lives is
precisely that nothing will
change on account of them. 1=1
