Ridiculous.
To suggest that the roots of the culture of death in the US are largely political is something worthy of Anne Coultier. If the writer of this letter honestly believes that liberalism is to blame for the catastrophic murder rate in the States, she really needs to get out more. Western Europe is probably the most liberalized political region on earth, and they do not kill one another with alarming regularity. Feminism, abortion, gay-rights, and death with dignity movements are not unique in the US, and yet most of the rest of the world has avoided the same level of seemingly random violence that infects our neighbours to the South. Something is rotten down there, but it is much more complex than this woman has suggested.
