(ethics, politics, design)
Steve McFarland is a divinity student in social ethics in New York City. Community is his journal of ethics, politics, and design. It's a place to play around with the intersections of these topics in the urban context, and to store other bits and bobbles.

    Finally. Perhaps I should take it as a sort wake up call that my catharsis came through Fox News anchor Sheppard Smith, but I don’t:

    WE. ARE. AMERICA. I don’t give a rat’s ass if [torture] helps! We are America! We do not fucking torture.

    Although for purposes of civil discourse, I find ways to make this some intellectual belief founded in constitutional law and geopolitics, at root I am Smith, pounding on the plastic table and cursing for values that shouldn’t need to be articulated, let alone dithered around by everyone from our forty-third president to a couple of second-rate, streaming cable blowhards. Hat tip to Smith.
