six-year old child is sent home for pointing his finger at other kids in his
class and saying “bang”. A columnist pushes this stupidity to
extremes in her spoof on dangerous 6-year –olds. Are we getting so crazy
that 6-year-olds are that scary? And speaking of scary, three days after the Sandy
Hook massacre of 6-year-olds and their teachers, in her own school, a teacher
found the journal of a 17-year old boy, in which he plans his own massacre
– six of his targets being Black schoolmates. Also, it was discovered that
he was building bombs for this event, in his basement. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><br>
We are a country (and maybe a whole world) gone mad! Yet the rhetoric
continues, and people will soon forget Sandy Hook and all the rest that came
before, probably without anything changed. Many people think that if we would just
kinder to each other, get more psychological help, or if people are checked
better when getting hand guns, or if we put a guard in each school, the carnage
will stop. As far as I’m concerned, you’ll never get all the
crazies before they commit their monstrous acts. How about this thing we used
to discuss called “structure is the key to change!” And what are
the structures that need to come at the SOURCE of things, not at the various
responses. How about some major changes in law that can begin to solve the
problem of a nation that owns 100 guns to every 120 people! I would like to
see Congress do three things:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Now,
we already know these are bound to be impossible, don’t we? This country
is so driven by “individual rights” and the NRA lobby so strong,
and our leadership so conservative, timid or hung-up on making sure Obama never
gets anything he wants, that it neglects to do anything to protect society at
large. Parents CHOOSE to not inoculate their children, so that later on their
children can spread diseases that once went out of existence due to inoculation
therapies. People who have AIDS don’t have to have bloods tests or take
meds, or even let anyone know they have it, so that they can spread the disease
even further. Our quarantine system is a joke, practically non-existent,
letting people walk around spreading whatever they have and choosing to do so
by their own <i><span style='font-style:italic'>individual rights</span></i>. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Those
whose pockets wouldn’t be getting as full will have the final word, as
usual, by insisting that our rights are being violated should Congress try to
do anything to curb the spread of terror and disease. They’ll insist
that violence on the screen, whether in the home or in the theatre,
doesn’t do anything to children’s brains and ideas. They’ll
insist on the right to have assault weapons (how many bullets does it take to
bring down a deer anyway?). There seems to be little questioning as to why any
individual needs anything more than a single-shot weapon.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We
continue to create laws that, so far, seem to protect the doer and not the
“done-to” victim. The best and freest treatment, including
surgeries, seems to be in the prisons. No wonder convicts keep going back in
once they get out. Suddenly they have to pay for their lodging and food and TV
and weight room and sports equipment, and pay for their own hospital care,
instead of everyone else’s taxes. Perhaps we should all find a way to
retire in the prisons!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We
are a culture gone mad with our so-called individual rights. I am convinced
that our forbearers did NOT have this kind of world in mind when it created our
Constitution and Bill of Rights. Maybe it is time that those masterful
documents be updated to the realities of the world we have been and still are
creating. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>It
is truly appalling to me that our own nation should be at the top of the list
of nations in violent deaths – <u>above</u> the worst of nations who
systematically kill off anyone who the leader disagrees with. No, we are a
nation PROUD of the fact that we don’t have such dictators – we
just let anyone run amok, killing whomever displeases them. Do we believe that
our killing rate is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the horrible things
like various holocausts caused by other nations in the world. Do we really?
Let’s start adding up all of the victims and see whose total is higher,
shall we? What do you want to bet that we would WIN!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
