this is so amazingly painful

[Tenet Nosce]

Based on the reactions I have seen on social networks, some are opening up to the idea that these types of events are co-created by us and attracted by our hypocritical attitudes.

For example, noting that when hundreds of thousands of innocents (including children) die from the "War on Terror" it should be no different than when innocents die in our own backyard. Or pointing out inconsistency in the way that we glorify psychopaths on television- make celebrities out of them and watch reality shows about their lives- and then act "shocked and amazed" when more psychopaths pop out of the woodworks. Or contemplating why America seems to be such a good breeding ground for violent psychopaths.

Others- still see these things as totally "random" and feel victimized. They don't see the connection between their tax dollars being used to kill children in Afghanistan with drone weapons, and the slaughter of innocents back home. Some of these are offended at the mere suggestion of a possible connection.

Others- are going to buy more guns.

The Eternal Question: Has anything really changed?
