BY NOW everyone in the world knows that in america an american citizen walked into a crowded movie theatre the other day looking like darth vador on steroids, and did some serious damage, to us all.

miraculously, he survived, thanks to the brave police officers to whom he evidently sweetly surrendered. how nice of him.

another nut case, lock him up, burn him, move on.

Or, how about this: initiate a study project, including many top scientists from many fields, from around the world, similar to the manhattan project or the human genome project. study every nook and cranny of this particular random mass murder tragedy, and all others like it, of which there have been more than a few in recent decades.

ascertain causes and suggest solutions.  do it using the scientific method to the max. the scientific method is the answer, it is the way, and it should be our religion.  the gospel according to the four forces of nature, or something like that.

isn't it obvious that there is some sort of pattern here? a pattern wherein random mass murder occurs too often in america. patterns suggest common causes, patterns indicate underlying reasons. discovering these can lead to correcting them.

the pattern includes virginia tech, congressperson giffords, columbine, and a whole host of other tragic venues. part of the pattern seems to be that the perps are angry young men, alienated from society, psychologically troubled.  chicks don't commit random mass murders, bless their sweet little hearts.

yes, the violence is "random". no, it isn't your fault - or is it?

what if a comprehensive scientific study clearly reveals that the root cause of all this random mass murder is the existence of a form of behavior in which you engage daily?  you'd want to know about it, so you could change it, wouldn't you? you'd own up to it, wouldn't you?

there are reasons for everything that happens, those reasons can be discovered, and it is often quite surprising what they turn out to be. each occurance has its own reason, which it often shares with other similar occurances.

so let's roll up our sleeves and do some scientific detective work. the sooner we get started the better.
