"There is not a single American institution that is not seriously corrupt"

10. I was seriously chastized

earlier today when I posted a piece about how everyone's SO DESPAIRED over what's happened in Boston while there's relative silence about the DAILY wave of killings that happen across the nation. Murders - not accidents, of course. Why is it that we've become numb to this ongoing wave of violence? Why isn't it labelled "terrorism"??? Could it be that to do so would point up SO MANY failings to the futile efforts against such? Is there a suppressive force that's loathe to connect the flood of guns with that word? Why wasn't Newtown called terror? Are not trhe people of that community terrorized? I guess it has to be a bomb or a 737 to get something labelled terror. The media has a HUGE hand in defining things for us dweebs. And we're all too ready to repeat just as we're told.


Collectively (and with steering help from the NRA) we've conceded that mental health may be a root cause. Anyone heard of budgeting for more mental health works??? I know the presidednt's trying his BEST to protect his beloved military from any meaningful cuts under the sequestor. After all - the military's served us SO WELL as a terror deterrent. Whatcha wanna bet the Boston bomber was scared sh*tless at the prospect of an F-35 Strike fighter getting a bead on him??? Right.
