Greetings good citizen,
Just five more shopping days ‘til 12/21/12! Make sure you get your ‘End of Days’ gifts early…you wouldn’t want to find yourself ‘left behind’.
But all joking aside the stock market continues to (as the neocons put it) ‘make its own reality’ as stock prices rise in defiance of reality on the ground.
Be that as it may, I think we finally have an answer to the niggling question of what’s the ‘common thread’ behind all of these shooting rampages?
And while the President (to his credit) went on national TV last night and promised to do ‘everything in his power’ to change things…how much change do you think the president can make?
Sadly I strongly suspect his speech is the only thing we’ll get.
The ‘hope of change’ is going to have to sustain us for now.
And that’s the sad reality good citizen, take away the guns and the ‘disenfranchised’ will be forced to kick their game up a notch…and that means bombs.
Do you REALLY want to trade guns for bombs? Because the problems this gruesome phenomenon represents isn’t going to ‘go away’ just because you took the law abidings ability to defend themselves away?
As this article (miraculously) alludes to, this is NOT a gun issue, legislation to outlaw guns would be just as effective as outlawing insanity! It won’t work.
You want to stop mass murder? Take away the murderer’s reason to act out!
It is finally becoming apparent precisely what all of these ‘kids’ have in common…kids with their ‘whole lives’ ahead of them.
But what if all you saw was a future without hope, being a debt slave until the day you dropped…and if you DON’T agree to play that game the alternative is how many bugs can you catch (‘hopefully’ without having to use yourself as bait?)
Yup, one thing we can credit our school system with is their success in pounding the message ‘you’re on your own’ into our young people’s brains.
Worse, they all come from homes that have seen their parents struggle to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads…and the kids think ‘if my parents can’t do it then how the heck am I going to make it?
And they arrive at their own conclusion.
How fucking sad is it that the kids are usually right?
Worse, that they decide suicide is the only way out.
As a 'parting shot' what do you suppose these people’s kids are learning?
Will they grow up hating a tax-starved government or will they loathe themselves for not being ‘higher born’?
Because, ironically, these poor kids see the government and not the tax dodging wealthy as the problem.
The kids are too young to realize that the problem stems from the lawyers of the wealthy taking those unpaid tax dollars for themselves.
Did I mention our entire (global) legal system is totally fubar?
Well, last night’s announcement was indeed as outstanding as it was awe inspiring…too sad that it is also ‘as good as it gets.’
Thanks for letting me inside your head,

The newly re-elected president offered few specifics about how he planned to proceed, saying only that he will engage with law enforcement, mental health professionals, parents and educators in the coming weeks. Just days after the shooting at an elementary school, Obama is already facing pressure from fellow Democrats and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to tackle gun control legislation, a contentious issue he avoided as he sought a second term.What’s next ‘bomb control?’ (Once gun control is proven ‘ineffective’…)
But Friday's shooting, which left 20 children and eight adults dead, appears to have spurred some soul-searching by Obama, who told Connecticut's governor that Friday was the most difficult day of his presidency. Speaking to families of the victims and first responders, Obama said Sunday that he had been reflecting on whether the country was doing enough to give its children "the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose."
"And if we're honest with ourselves, the answer is no. We're not doing enough, and we will have to change," Obama said. Sunday marked the fourth time in Obama's presidency that he has traveled to a community shaken by a mass shooting. Just this summer, he made a similar visit to Aurora, Colo., where a dozen people were killed in a movie theater attack.

For Spaniards, Having a Job No Longer Guarantees a Paycheck
By SUZANNE DALEY
With Spain’s ongoing economic crisis leaving local governments in debt and businesses struggling, workers sometimes have to resort to legal measures simply to be paid.
Will they grow up hating a tax-starved government or will they loathe themselves for not being ‘higher born’?
Because, ironically, these poor kids see the government and not the tax dodging wealthy as the problem.
The kids are too young to realize that the problem stems from the lawyers of the wealthy taking those unpaid tax dollars for themselves.
Did I mention our entire (global) legal system is totally fubar?
Well, last night’s announcement was indeed as outstanding as it was awe inspiring…too sad that it is also ‘as good as it gets.’
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
