Subject: RE: DC sniper; looks like they may have him?
Do any of you think JFK's assasination was overly media'd? I just plain don't follow the train of thought that many of us are on here. Assasins with high powered rifles in daily society is outrageous. The fact that we USA people live in an INCREDIBLY violent gun toting society does not make anything OK. Surely no one here can tell me that this is normal behavior... and I mean the whole violence thing... what is it with US anyway?
Maybe it is all so frustrating and unsatisfying, that people are just pissed off all the time! Since we are the wealthiest people ever to be on earth... would it be logical that we would also be the most civilised and peaceful? Aren't we setting the example?
The point.
Terrorism is a daily occurance in this country. It is condoned, and encouraged, everyday by our competitive socioeconomic ethos. Dualistic jargon is constantly emminating outwards from our core beliefs. We live in a constant state of pseudo-fear, and none of us deserve it. Now,... give guns to all who will take them... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to... Peace... ttr
