destabilization of communities, destruction of the "commons," alienation from our essential humanity and destruction of community, people who can identify easier with electronic communication gadgets, contraction of opportunity, overall cheapening of life, meaning, and relationships - all of this is a recipe for people to snap.

not to mention its easy as shit to get a firearm ANYWHERE in this country illegally.

it's harder to get one legally.

if you have 200 bucks, you can get a gun in most places, probably a c note if a tweaker or basehead is selling it.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
