    It's not rude. I got no problem with it. I just think the focus should be on the guy who did it.
     
  2. Which is great if you don't want to help stop these acts in the future.

    So mental health/mental disability has no role in this? Or any other mass killing? You seriously believe that?

    Again, there is room to discuss both the mental health system and the issue of gun control. There is no need to focus on one to the exclusion of the other. They're both part of this tragedy.

    He's dead. We don't have to worry about him killing anybody else. We still have to worry about some other disturbed individual walking into a mall, church, office building or school and killing people.

    Let's worry about the next one. Let's figure out how to stop the next one.

    Of course St. Ronnie played a role in slashing mental health budgets and programs in the 1980s...so Republicans are kind of ohh for two on this one.

    As I have said, there can be two and only two explanations:

    --- Gun control works.

    OR

    --- The human beings in this country are simply at a level far below the human beings in many other countries.

    Take your pick. I simply see no third explanation.

    Not according to Captain Obvious.

    I wonder if his other screen names feel the same way?

    Well if you're going to be an asshole and get political on the wrong thread, the Dems are on their fourth term in the WH since then. Why haven't they fixed it?
