We have a lot
going for us
Confession may be as good for the national soul as it
is for the individual soul, but it is not clear just what bene
fit will come from the recent report by the National Com
mission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, which
declared that Americans have been and are “a rather
bloody-minded people in both action and reaction” and
suffer from “a kind of historical amnesia” that obscures
this truth.
The report repeats what we have been hearing ever since
the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Its aim, no doubt,
is to bring us to take a good, hard look at ourselves and
begin doing something to change this condition.
But a nation, like a person, can be told too often how
bad it is. It can lead to either defensive self-righteousness
or punishing self-hatred. In either case, the frequent result
is worse behavior in the future.
The 13-member commission, composed of historians,
political scientists, anthropologists, psychiatrists, psychol
ogists and sociologists, notes that other nations have their
own traditions of violence. Before we claim the trophy, it
might be interesting to compare a few of them with our
own.
America has practiced violence against its minorities,
but nothing to approach the centuries-long slaughter of
religious heretics in medieval Europe.
The American Revolution never produced a guillotine,
nor the mass execution of the losers that took place in
Cuba only 10 years ago.
The English conducted public executions for any num
ber of petty crimes into the 19th century. The lash was
the norm in their army and navy, something never per
mitted in the American armed forces.
What greater and more enduring example of violence is
there than the repression of human liberty which the
Russian people have suffered under both czar and com
missar ?
The greatest episodes of insane bloodletting in all his
tory—the two world wars—began in old, civilized Europe.
If Vietnam and our tremendous military establishment
are pointed to as proof that America has now adopted
violence as a foreign policy, it may be that we have learn
ed too well the lesson taught by Europe that the best way
to prevent a big war is to fight little ones.
“Assassin” derives from an Arabic word, and it is at
least a little ironic that the murder of Robert F. Kennedy,
which prompted the formation of the commission a year
ago, was the work a deranged alien who was an emotional
victim of the seemingly insoluble violence that wracks his
Middle Eastern homeland.
Nevertheless, it is true, as the commission points out,
that other Western countries have overcome their violent
pasts. In none of them is there a crime rate like ours. In
Britain especially, where the darkest streets of London are
safe at night, personal violence is simply in bad taste and
its occurrence relatively rare. The police carry no guns.
When one thinks about it, there is something unhealthy
about the sight of an American policeman, with a tevolver
strapped to his hip, leading a child across the street. We
are so used to seeing police with guns, however, that we
seldom think about it.
America does have a problem with violence. Perhaps it
is because we have grown too big too fast. A lot of neglect
ed domestic dilemmas have suddenly become crises. The
melting pot is overheated. We are still a young, brash
people, still imbued with the attitudes of the pioneers,
whose lives were one constant combat with their environ
ment.
If the commission’s report helps us to look realistically
at ourselves and leads to a national determination to find
the causes and the cures for the violence we inflict upon
ourselves in our cities, on our highways, in our homes,
in “confrontations” between rival groups, it will have per
formed a worth-while service.
But let us not overdo the confessions of guilt. We have
a lot going for us.

Neighbors
We have had bad luck with
neighbors, in fact we moved just
because they were quarrelsome
and disagreeable. Our new nei
ghbors are worse as thy gossip
besides being disagreeable.
What can we do? J.W.
How did your neighbors quar-'
rel unless you quarreled with I
them? How do you know your
new neighbors gossip unless you
furnish ears for their gossip?
Life Is like a mirror. When we
are quarrelsome, others reflect
that attitude. Gossip begets gos
sip. And likewise, friendliness
makes others friendly; kindness
begets kindness, and love begets
love. In any given neighborhood
you will find those who say it is
lacking in friendliness, but you
will find many who will say that
It is the friendliest place they
ever lived. The difference often
Is in the atmosphere we create.
If every rZghborhood seemed
quarrelsome and unfriendly, I
would begin to examine my own
heart, for all communities have
good and kind people in them.
The Bible says: “Whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also
reap. . . he that soweth to h 1 s
flesh shall reap corruption; but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall
reap life everlasting.” Sow betr
ter seed and you’ll reap a better
harvest.

Just as it requires more
time to build a skyscraper
than a cabin, so it takes
longer for nature’s larger
organisms to reach repro
ductive maturity than it
does for her smaller ones,
The World Almanac notes.
Bacteria, smallest living
organisms, divide every
half hour, while sequoias,
largest living organisms,
produce cones only after
60 years, at which time
they may be 260 feet tall.
