Topic:
A Question of Trust

No need to here. If I have an inkling of something not right I leave now. But used to turn into Sherlock Holmes when I was young to prove what I felt. I also picked some real losers so my feelings were always right.

@ ENK Not true but good ole philosophy none the less... Do you watch TV? They got this show, "Hell on Wheels". It's pretty good. Is it on cable? I don't have cable. I haven't heard of it. I can be though   I bet you can. ;) It's like this, a man is only free if he has the power to hold onto his freedom. If you are free, but you can't protect yourself, then how free are you? They got armed guards in every pawn shop, every bank, every high class retailer, but we can't have armed teachers or school employees? I think it's a sad state of affairs when we say that money and things deserve better protect than women and children. The problem here is that a gun is really not any protection from anything. If you are smarter, you can beat out a gun every time. A gun in the school will do no good because it will have to be locked up well and saftied which makes it of no use for protection. Just as in a home with children. A gun separated from it's bullets is of no protection whatsoever. It is all the old ignorant philosophy given to us by those who were "amazed" by the power of a musket...they might have been smart for their time but not for ours. The gun crazy ideology does us no favors and allows 20 children to be mowed down in their classroom in minutes. It doesn't protect anyone. Ask JFK how those guns surrounding him protected him that day or Reagan or MLK or Bobby Kennedy, etc... They are surrounded by loaded holstered guns and die anyway. It is a fallacy of days gone by... |

Hmph... Is there a valid point hidden in there somewhere?  Okay, I know I tend to be disorganized with my thoughts and I did curse a bit but I thought there was one point made

Me? Long winded? Never   I was talking about the feller who started this topic. You put yours up there while I was still pecking my response out on the ol' keyboard. I can be so also but I try to be short and to the point. |

There were 11 bullets in one child, 11
No one in their right mind can say that an automatic weapon was not used I did say right mind though..... |

This one was hard because I can live without everything but air, water, food and protection from the elements and possibly human contact although that seems debatable sometimes
. But if I go outside of that and say what I wouldn't like to live without.... I would have to say... my children, my mind/knowledge/learned lessons, my happy/contentedness, sex , living things/plants/forests/animals, all of my senses to enjoy all of the above all the time....

And anything to take the attention away from the death of 20 six year olds, mowed down in their classes and the grief of the father being disrespected by pro gunners who couldn't give a flying phuck about the kids, just hugging their guns.....

I am not the bullshyter in this mess..... Guns are not protection, they are more likely to kill those are purported to protect. Etc.... The bullshyte is the fearful pro gun crazies. If guns are not protection, then why does Obama's security guards all have guns? If guns are not protection, then why does our military all have guns? If guns are not protection, then why do police officers all have guns? Answer that. You think a citizen has no right to protect themselves and that they should have to rely on police and military to do it? What happens when the government runs out of money to pay the police and military? Then you better have your own guns because guns are protection from others with guns. The guns around the president are just protocol you can ask JFK and Reagen how well they saved them from getting shot. Our military has weapons to kill...that is what they are there for. We already went through this. I will disarm a person with a gun and possibly use it against them before they can use it on me. I don't need a gun, I will have theirs. Guns are only protection in the unhealthy mind. |

It is amazing and sad how good 'ole Ronnie Raygun's words still have obvious perlocutionary affects/affects on the society at large. "Government is not the solution to our problem. Government IS the problem!" He then went on to convince enough folk of the need for Reaganomics(trickle down), subsequently giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest folk in the country while offsetting the costs of this by cutting spending on social programs and/or dissolving some of them altogether. The records clearly show that, on average, the wealth has not trickled down. In fact, the wealthiest folk have had their overall worth multiply at an exponentially faster rate than those who are not. This is a bit of support for what has been said thus far. That much being said, it is not at all a stretch to say that some of the direct consequences of our taking these actions have been disasterous. One very curious example would be the nationwide closing of all of the mental health institutions that housed folk who were a danger to themselves and/or to our society. We used to house mentally disturbed folk in the 'looney bins'. You know folk like most if not all of the different perpetrators of the numerous mass killings? Those folk who may have never had the opportunity to do such a thing had the powers at be not decided that it would be better to put that money into the pockets of the wealthiest folk in the country. The real irony, the thing that really gets to me now lies in the fact that so many talking heads, especially those who identify with the conservatives, and/or the conservatives themselves who are parroting each others' talking points are currently shifting the focus away from the need for better gun safety(which they like to call 'gun control') onto the idea that we need to have a better mental health system in place. That that is the real problem! Fancy that! Now, here's the most bothersome part. How do you think that the conservative politician's will propose funding that idea? I strongly suspect that they will not suggest going back to the way it was previously funded, for that would amount to an increase in revenue through taxation. Rather, true to their current dogma of austerity, they will propose to do so by cutting even more spending from yet more social programs. That is taking more things away from the folk who already have the least in order to fix a problem - that they've brought into the light - that was, by and in large, originally caused by giving the ones with the most even more! Wake up America! Although I agree, mental health has been poorly and in most cases completely ignored in this country since before Reagan actually. Those warehouses were not healthy for the mentally unwell either. Can I make a prediction, like my prediction of the gun control already happening.....The gun advocates (those who kiss the butt of the gun manufacturers) are reaching right now for anything that will not effect their bottom line. They couldn't care less if kids get shot every day by their parents, their neighbors, their teachers who have guns as long as someone is buying em. They might care if enough people die that they can't sell anymore but that would take a lot of loss of life. Ok, back to the prediction, they will make it appear to the American people that they care about their gun totin as ses and the mental health of the gun totin as ses as long as gun restrictions that will stop the selling of guns will be shelved. They couldn't care less about the mental health of the gun owners, actually the crazier they are the more guns they will buy... And if they can get the attention elsewhere for long enough a new crisis will take the attention and this will pass. But there are those like myself who will not let it pass. I have always been an advocate of not letting gun crazies do their crazy shyte but when 20 six year olds were mowed down in a class in just a few minutes, it brought home how very crazy it has gotten. Stuff will get done this time. Now the gun crazies don't want you to "use" this "one time" kinda thing (there are many now) as a method to take away their protection from the boogie man. Cause the gun is no protection from the government, no protection from the criminals, etc... it is usually used when they finish losing their mind to hurt their own family friends coworkers neighbors, etc... or irresponsibly used by their kids to kill their brother or sister or neighbor or irresponsibly stolen and used to commit a crime against some other innocent person, etc... the list goes on and on but very seldom does it save the day for anyone for real. They have a lot of "what if" scenarios but in actuality they are just a wishful thinking on the gun toters hope list. So, yea mental health is a super big issue in this country. Will anything be done about it of mass proportion like needed? Hell no. Republican wouldn't fund a sure fire way to make all poor people unlazy let alone make everyone healthier mentally or otherwise. We would just live longer and be a burden to the unlazy god blessed 1 percent. God forbid the poor actually take some time out of their life struggle and investigate what the repubs have been doing to them for years, they might be in trouble. Corporations might actually be treated as businesses again. Big money might be taken out of government. People might be able to send their kids to school and know that no one, not even a gun toting teacher, is gonna even accidentally shoot their children. Oh the horror. |
