Cats: This Week's Guests and Topics|When we know that most of us are aware of decisions that lead to terrible outcomes that have devastated society and we rarely, if ever, heard outrage, then when steps are being taken to make a positive change we constantly hear their outrage; when we hear from people who once stood for sound values that truly strengthen society but, later, adopt a different stance we need to ask what’s really motivating our fellow citizens?
