Cruz doesn't give a damn shit about those kids. He won't lift a finger to try and stop it from happening again.
This is a shooting thread? This happened today! www.npr.org/2022/05/24/1101037902/texas-elementary-school-shooting-uvalde
Absolutely horrible. Killed his grandmother then a bunch of kids. With a gun that is illegal for him to buy anywhere in the country, and illegal for him to carry in Texas without a license (which only a very small percentage of 18 year olds in Texas have). I wish we'd get serious about what the real problems are...
And it will be until we address the real problems of lack of access to education, healthcare, and social safety net.
Hello, I Completely agree. Things like the following: Quality parenting and tools parents need to be quality parents. Restructuring of this ridiculous corporate two party system. Campaign finance reform more understanding of others’ opinions. more understanding that having an opinion doesn't make one an expert. Ridding society of most of social media and get back to face to face relations. i mean, to me thats a start anyhow. More of the above would equate to less hatred and killings in my opinion. But i am no expert in Social order.
Absolutely. Campaign Finance reform almost certainly has to happen before anything really productive has a chance...
And at the same time, almost certainly the hardest to make happen because of corporate and individual greed. But yes, i probably should have listed that first because without that, we wont be able to change much else.
Certainly. It's so hard to change that I sometimes forget to name it as the main problem when discussing other issues. But every problem we're facing as a country today exists or has been exacerbated by money in politics.
Is this the thread where we send out our thoughts and prayers and then go back to our normally scheduled programming. 5 posts about it…..doesn’t even register anymore.
Hello. It is truly sad the desensitizing that is overcoming most all of us humans. At the same time, I've always been told the dead would prefer us to keep on keepin on. Not join then as a living mourning corpse. It is tough but my opinion of mourning the dead is to become as positively productive to help become a better society, as possible.
No other option until we want to get serious about fixing the real problems with society. It's unfortunate, but that's the world we live in.
