I haven't squawked for a while but I need an outlet for this. Every time ANY tragedy occurs, we Americans have to attach it to our political view, confirm we are and have always been correct and that this tragedy confirms our moral and intellectual superiority over the people with which we disagree.
STOP IT!! People are dying because our society is lost. We have no common goals. We've lost our sense of community and replaced it with relativism and supreme self-interest. We are not teaching empathy or identity with a positive group.
Once we get past this event by a few days, I will have an opinion on the Aurora case. But can we first come together to find a solution and stop this from ever happening? It's not guns alone. It's not the Republicans and it's not the Democrats and shame on you for trading in the blood of innocent people to say it is. Its the sense of nihilism that we are cultivating in young people that leads many of the more fragile psyches to snap. Certainly the gunman is responsible for his actions and should be punished. But can we stop drawing up the battle lines and pissing on our political opposites for a while? It's obscene!!
