In this series we will look at the idea that the things that we think of as huge problems to society actually remove our focus from the real issues that can destroy a community. We have unrequited and uncensored vices in our heart; flaws that can't be made illegal, such as pride, lust, envy, gluttony, greed, anger and slothfulness.
