You, me, we can't be pleased with the turn of events in our society right now. I was disturbed as a news bulletin flashed on my phone referencing yet another school shooting! My first thought was, when, where, and how can these tragic events be stopped! Unfortunately a deeper question is, what if they can't?
Listen, and understand that the misguided elements in our society have a huge head start on self destruction and no one has put a finger on "why!" Guns, okay I get it, however guns are just the tools. Guns are inanimate. They have no life nor feeling. We have to stop blaming the tool and refocus on who's using it. Guns are not going away. For every one we take off the streets, five more show up. We can use buy-back programs and all that does is give folks money to buy better guns. We have to neutralize the catalyst.
There is another pandemic in America which is a generation of angry young men and boys. These young men and boys are more fatal than Covid or the Delta variant and they are mutating daily. We have to understand that these young men and boys were not born this way. Society, broken homes, divorces, teen pregnancies', dads' incarcerated, an overcrowded and dysfunctional juvenile system, and an abusive life cycle that has existed in many families for decades gives adequate fuel to these young men's anger. Something happened that caused a metamorphosis in their nature. There is a huge void in the lives of these young people...just ask them if you dare! Oh they will tell you! Trust me they are not afraid. But then what do you do? Every year that a vaccine is not administered in the lives of these individuals, this social infection grows worse. Covid-19 and its predecessor has diverted attention away from some really volatile issues.
What is the vaccine, glad you asked? Now, you are awake!
