So, let’s wrap this up.
Obviously, I’ve not even scratched the surface on all the potential issues on why we see the apparent increase in violent mass murder of school children in this country. For example, other than the potential impact of violent first person shooting games, I’ve not talked about how mental illness is diagnosed or treated, nor have I addressed, beyond a superficial level, the role of parents and teachers in guiding young minds towards a level of self-esteem, which is so vital for our maturation. On the other hand, I have attempted to lay out the simple and I believe inescapable truth this is a much larger problem than the buying, owning and using of guns, and by insisting that is all it is we are unlikely to ever seek out, address, and fix the true root causes. For debating those issues require's society to reexamine individual standards and behaviors.
What I do believe is we don’t have a clue with regard to the second order effects of the political choices we have made over the past 75 years or so, and those secondary issues are now rising to the surface in ways we find unpleasant.
The young, who are being organized to push a fixed political agenda, have neither the experience nor understanding of the human condition to provide anything more than the emotional appeal they are being exploited for. The people who are truly behind their involvement are using them for that purpose alone. The rest of society has been conditioned by the media to accept their sincerity as proof of the “rightness” of their cause.

Today is March 14th 2018, the day the behind the scenes leadership of the anti-gun movement has chosen as walk out day for high schoolers across the country to show their support that guns should be banned. It seems the opportune time to point out that a fresh young face, with little experience is always the ideal leader for a movement controlled by some unseen force. This movement has that, but I wonder how far beyond the symbolic rants it will really go? They don’t seem to have the focus of say the anti-war movement of the 1960s where there was a real self-interest on the part of the radical leadership to stop a war they may be forced to fight in.
Well enough about this… now on to something else, like maybe cat videos.
