SO WHEN ARE THE NRA boyz gonna chime in? The two most recent editions of the american massacre of the week involved no firearms of any kind. This proves that guns don't kill people, people kill people, and to do so they can use guns, knives, ball bearings, nails. or anything.
Point well made, NRA. We all agree, guns do not kill people. Having congratulated ourselves on our percipience, we have the opportunity to develop even more insightful truths. There are a lot of random mass murders in america these days, involving all sorts of weapons. How's that?
so who are the good people, and who are the bad? aren't we supposed to identify them apriori, so we can know to whom to sell firearms? ought not all the good people be armed, to stop the bad ones dead in their tracks, a priori? we'll see.
The point is, this "sort of thing" happens all the time, or often, or too often, however you want to say it, argue it, since we must all have our say and argue, about seemingly everything. and maybe that's part of the problem. an angry, assertive culture, in which we all feel desperate to mold our immediate environment to fit our image.
are we too competitive? in america we line up six year old girls on stage, then vote on which one is cutest. are we too aggressive? have often do you see an america driver who is not following you too closely?
arrogance, pride, individualism, and personal success? or humility, cooperation, service to society?
try not to become a man of success, but rather, a man of value, suggested einstein. whatever else we may or may not need about now, surely we could all use a few good suggestions.
