I have tried to limit the amount of information I'll listen or see regarding the Virginia Tech shootings...I know the facts I need to know to make a decent stab at an opinion. It is so obvious that I am amazed by the behavior of the MSM, the tinfoil hatted leftist loons, the gun control braying beginning and every blame America crowd in the world. But I am not amazed by what these "folk" are yelling, because a lot of the people screeching about this are themselves a "little" off.
What we need to face is the fact that in the decades-long frenzy to change the world and America, in particular, into some sort of "socialist...", "better..." place, they forgot that human beings are flawed and some are so flawed that in very ancient days they were probably left to their own devices and later in time they were locked up in attics, basements, deep dark rear bedrooms with locked doors or some ugly, nasty institution. Human flaws are what make us "human"...there I said it.
For nearly 200+ millennium people have lived with these "flawed" types in one way or another. If they were put to death I've never read or heard of it. But the secular progressive folk have built their way of life on the panacea that there should be 100% equality and all people on the planet are or should be entitled to live as they wish...smoking pot but not cigarettes, driving electric or ethanol fueled cars even if electricity if acquired by using fossil fuels and ethanol may seriously affect human beings' health. Abortions are fine. Crimes are a result of "poverty" only or degradation of people by race, gender or sexual orientation. No guns for anyone, unless you happen to be the bodyguards of Rose O' Donnell or other celebrities in America and around the world.
But, they forgot about what it is that makes us human beings: our brains! And, what are our brains made of? As a matter of fact, what are human beings made of? Why we are made up atoms that form chemicals or muscles or fat or skin and cells of every and imagined kind including brain cells. But, we are yet very far from understanding exactly how our brains work. What affect chemicals we produce are helpful or harmful; how they are created; if we can control them; the affect of controlling them or changing them; affects of lack or overabundance. We are not only far from knowing much about those things, it is important for everyone, including the SP's, to understand that we have only just (maybe 25 years?)begun to explore the who, what, when, where and why of the brain...oh, I don't mean to say just 25 years, but until just recently, we didn't have the knowledge, equipment or direction necessary to even begin.
So, is Hiu crazy? NO! At least not in the classical sense prior to l975 maybe even l990. But, he was crazy in today's sense where you politically correctly ignore behaviors that can kill you! In my day, if a neighbor or someone within my sphere of life showed behavior that was crazy or insane we stayed well away and talked with their families or the authorities in order to be safe. I specifically remember that on the corner of 6th & Hill Streets, downtown Los Angeles in the l960's we had a person who loudly spoke about subjects or yelled them, but we all knew right away that this person was not normal and would not cause us harm....never did in over a decade. Today, people who exhibit that type of behavior are worse and will attack, hurt and kill. But not all of them are loud. Hiu was very quiet...but, look at the pictures of his face. Tell me if you don't think he looked to be a very, very unhappy individual. Did no one around him ask why? Or did those pesky secular progressives make up so afraid that we will allow ourselves to be killed? Good question, don't you think?
