Subject: RE: BS: 'Toning it down'...
Revisit the point that lox made. Ideas is what makes things like money real...

The idea seeds we plant now are for next season's harvest.


When you say "no line can be drawn, there is nothing you can do, thats the way it is", you are a failed human being, you are devoid of hope with no imagination or courage to change a single gun attitude. Your thinking is trapped in a box.

Today we can change the numbers of victims. Tommorow we could change a single mind. After that we could change attitudes.
While you can cage a devil for only a short time and evil will never go extinct, lines can be drawn, have been drawn and need to be made indelible.

Also the idea that a misinformation label can be used.
I earlier proposed a system similar to what we do for movies, TV shows, cigarettes, and afix a PG or a MS misinformation, or a IV implied violence, XV abject violence...etc
For example
The PURLITZER assoc. abd THE FCC should be made to obey the findings of a huge panel that concludes which warning labels go where. The panel will have ecumenical, political, city and country representatives.

There will have to be two levels of label responses one for immediate response and another for a later finding. The people who do truth in campaign work and other fact checking organizations who already have credibility will be the first to undertake such a respondsibility.



Anyway thinking of which seeds to plant a what ideas to use to actually do something is the most important thing we can do.
