You would think that we could have a mature conversation about what is ailing this great nation.
First off, we have to ask ourselves why it is that most, if not all, of this domestic violence occurs in the USA and not other so-called first world nations. What makes our culture so violent? I have a few ideas we can start with:
--- Violent, murder-oriented video games being thrust at children from a young age. It would be interesting to see a graph of the increase of violence over time vs. the embedding of violent video games in our society.
WHY IS IT HAPPENING? BIG PROFITS and parents who won't or can't properly supervise their children's lives
--- Violent, murder- and war-oriented entertainment (movies and TV).
WHY IS IT HAPPENING? BIG PROFITS and parents who won't or can't properly supervise their children's lives
--- The "every kid who gets bored in school" needs to be on mind altering drugs culture. We have this antiquated educational system that forces kids to sit in a classroom every day and listen to some teacher, who in all likely hood couldn't pass their own tests w/o the answer key. Not all students learn at the same pace and maybe some students are more suited for a vocational education. Maybe the kids come from a ####ed up home life and act up as a result. Anyway, the answer these days is to label the kid with some made up disease and force mind-altering drugs on them to quiet them down so they won't be a problem any more for the clueless school system. The bottom line is that many of these drugs are known to cause violent episodes and/or suicidal tendencies in many people.
WHY IS IT HAPPENING? BIG PROFITS and an educational system is generally clueless and lethargic to real change. Just throw more money at the problem is always their answer to everything.
--- The never-ending war culture thrust upon us by the so-called Shadow Government. When you subject people to never ending violence, it messes with their heads and desensitizes them.
WHY IS IT HAPPENING? BIG PROFITS for the military industrial complex and a way for the politicians to shore up the economy as the powers that be who bought and paid for them move all of our jobs to slave labor nations in search of more profit. But, that's OK because it is capitalism.
Now why do I think we can never have a serious conversation about some of the things I just outlined? Let's just all be simpletons and outlaw the guns. That'll fix the problem.

Cardin Statement on Tragic Events at Great Mills High School
LEXINGTON PARK, Md. – U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.) today released the following statement on the student shooting at Great Mills High School.
"I was heartbroken to learn about the school shooting this morning at Great Mills High School in St. Mary's County, Md. It is a parent's worst nightmare that their child will not return home from school at the end of the day. I travelled to St. Mary's County today to offer my support to local officials. I also met with Governor Hogan, fellow members of our congressional delegation, and federal and state officials on site.
"I thank the first responders who rushed toward danger to neutralize the threat to the students and treat the wounded. I commend the actions of the St. Mary's County Sheriff's School Resource Officer who acted decisively to save the lives of students, teachers and school personnel. And I am grateful for the help of our federal partners from the FBI and ATF who are on site and providing valuable assistance for this crime scene.
"But thoughts and prayers are not enough. Our students need to know they are safe in their schools. They are pleading with adults to act like adults and take action. We cannot wait for the cycle of violence to repeat again and again without making a change. Last week, I joined Maryland students from Montgomery County at the Capitol during the National School Walkout to demand Congress pass commonsense gun safety legislation. This Saturday I will again join Maryland students at the March for Our Lives in Washington. This student activism should move Congress to rise above partisan politics and finally enact gun safety legislation that is broadly supported by the American people."
