Fear of retaliation

There was a time when people were ashamed of the very thought of doing something wrong to another human being and it kept them from doing it. Nowadays people feel no shame nor pay any consequences for their bad behavior therefore they have no built-in moral code of conduct that they live by. The terrorist attitude by which has kept people silenced for fear of retaliation rules the hearts and minds right here in America not just in the Middle East. We must stand up for what is right now before the bad outnumber the good like in the Middle East.
