The fact that so many of my neighbors support a man I see as morally bankrupt and unfit to serve as President is sobering to say the least. In Denver, at least, you have some cultural diversity to remind you that not everyone has lost their collective mind. I too have generally thought people were, for the most part, good. I'd still like to think that's true but I may just be fooling myself.
People are basically good, as long as they aren't in situations that scare them, discourage them too much, or let them think it's OK to be bad. Things need to be arranged not to lead people into temptation.
