Ms. Rebecca Hagelin continues to point out the numbers documenting our cultural disaster.[1] Its useful to know at times, these are the sort of things that you bring up when others want to justify this or that. But the barrage of numbers, of statistics, has its own danger, we tend to turn our brains off and tune things out when the problem seems overwhelming, and the numbers seem never-ending. Plus, we all distrust statistics now, and with good reason. What is the right approach? I do not know.
