Pierce: "The country must resist the temptation present in anesthetic innocence. It must reject the false comfort of learned disbelief and the narcotic embrace of concocted surprise."

So we shouldn't be surprised. We're guilty of allowing this to happen. This display is after all, as Pierce says, "the dark heart of America."

Well okay then.
