  1. We are. All culpable. And the tragedy is that I think we always have been. Despite outpourings of empathy and kindness across generations, for thousands of years humans have also always accepted, tolerated, justified or just simply looked the other way.
    Thanks L. This is a fantastic quote, going to share this with colleagues and students.
