The lunacy of modern Societal thought:

[Or a society on the verge of meltdown]

Since the news of the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut broke, it seems that no one is grasping the true horror of the event.  Gasp!, Shock!, Horror! have all emblazoned the headlines around the world but the story has been quickly usurped by every vigilante desperado out-there to run with it for their own cause. Gun lobbyists, anti-gun lobbyists, mental-health advocates and their opponents. from President to Pastor everyone is once again grabbing their torches and heading to Dr Frankenstein's castle. And then there are the more sinister elements that considers no tragedy off limits for their motives, these are the most detestable, and we have seen a few of those also. And I have no doubt in my mind that over time, forensic images of the classroom will eventually end up on one of the websites that proliferates macabre gore for the salacious appetites of the lost. We are a society spiraling out of control.

I applaud individuals like Dr. James White, who are brave enough to speak out on the original cause The cause that eats away at a society so passively and like a distractive noise that over time becomes normalized and inaudible to the senses, and soon goes unnoticed.  And that cause he speaks of is evil. This was a truly evil act that occurred at sandy hook school. And sans the Hollywood stereotyping of incarnate evil, no one has yet approached this act or any of the preceding ones, with the honesty to admit this truth.. 

We are approaching a complete breakdown in our society. Values, morals, ethics, accountability and credentials are all for sale to the highest bidder. This is evil in the broad light of day. Governing officials are now held in a critical esteem that was once reserved for snake-oil salesmen. Corporate, financial and resource barons now hold sway on policy and increasingly it is getting harder and harder to distinguish between the two Now ditto these ethical boundaries down the rungs of the societal ladder, and in each station of life ethics and moral conduct are treated as a form of divine attribution, not common place intrinsic value.

What is left to impression the minds of the up-incoming of our society? Corporate propaganda, religious & community moral double speak. A government that bullies and intimidates any who resist its policy, all the while preaching a doctrine to youth not to bully. Social factions teaching that sexual identity should be taught in schools, but not sexual education. That extortion, intimidation, greed and selfishness are wrong, but when they go out into the workforce they find that these are the intrinsic values corporations trade on and usually the only way to succeed.  The list of double-standards, contradictions, and rhetoric could go on and on, but the end result is a confused morally bankrupt ethically voided individual. All we need now is a misdiagnoses of personality disorder, a pharmaceutical designed  for a dysfunctional brain, administered to a functioning brain with a socially disordered mind and you have the perfect ticking time-bomb, and sadly one goes off occasionally, and sadly many are hurt. 

What's missing from this story? Oh yea, Guns! There is no doubt that the availability of guns played a role in this. But was it the direct cause? No! Then why  is it at the top of the discussion right now? Because it is a tangible distraction, and there is one thing that politicians have proven over and over again and that is, that they are good at distracting ownership, blame and consensus away from the truth and away from resolution. Something to think about, what was the real cause of this act of evil?
