[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 945971, member: 2189"] As to the native Americans, when I see Gaza or the old SA apartheid system, I see the efforts of the American gov't in alliance with business and railroad interests to eradicate the plains indians from North America. When I see Africa, I see very much the same thing at play. It's all like a bad slasher movie getting played over and over again and we're just not smart enough to get up and walk out of the theater after first putting a bullet in the film projector. As to the sad events in Ohio, here's my take and it's likely not going to set well with many folks and if that's the case, well let's just say the mods will delete it so you know what I'm thinking! A few weeks ago a man stood before a crowd and suggested we treat people by means of the golden rule. As a result he was met with a rousing chorus of boos not unlike a crowd yelling, "Give Us Barabbas!" Now it's been said that the tragic event in Ohio was caused by too many guns, some say there was a lack of security and still others would say that not enough money was allocated to the schools. But all of that is like a new coat of paint upon a house whose very foundation has been eaten away by voracious termites. It may look pretty for the moment but in the end the house will still collapse. But I say you can have all the guns in the world laying there, no security at all or even little to no funds but had that town and it's people followed to the best they could that crazy old man and his golden rule idea, none of those events from the other day, in fact the events leading up to the cause would have never happened to begin with. This country is driven by a psychology of violence, aggression and brute force and no amount of laws, no amount of restrictions from the means of violence will ultimately stop the problem at it's roots. Until we learn that to force another human being to your will regardless of it's motive or intent is wrong, then the events in Ohio will only get worse and more numerous. The fact is what we've done to our own people, what we've done to others across the planet, our own children are seeing this and when it suits them they act out in the same way to serve their own interests.
