When faced with so much evil meanness mindless endless cruelty—what to do? Certainly protest. Speak up! But that seems not enough. The killing, the torture, the corruption of government, the stealing just gets worse. Our democracy, our Constitution—Jane Addams knew this told us this—is designed to protect us from the demagogues, the rule by greedy fools, the madmen and the dictators. Jane...Jane tell us what to do now!
