Psycho-babble on school killings

GOOD MORNING!

       After the horrible killings - a 13 year old and an 11 year old with

    readily available guns open fire on classmates and teacher -Hollywood

    Movie style - as usual after the killings the psycho-babble. A lot of it

    just common sense hardly demanding a PHD : "...kids these days are not

    getting the social and emotional learning they need." Dr.Laura can tell

    us this every day on Talk Radio.

       Would compulsory lectures in elementary school on " getting it all

    together " assure us that these crazy kid homocides will never happen

    again?

       True enough ignored, angry, troubled kids are TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN!

    But the sanest and most humane society would not have enough counselors

    and psychiatrists for individual therapy.

       The root of the problem is one of the most terrible inventions of all

    time- the GUN.  I remember reading somewhere the definition of man as " a

    tool making animal ". The mere possession of a gun will CHANGE your

    personality whatever it is  genetically. You possess the GREAT EQUALIZER.

    With it you can take on ANYBODY who gets in your way. Big pest or little

    pest- what difference does it make ?

       Your TOOLS change YOU! I remember keeping a baseball bat under my

    bed in a rooming house after an encounter with intruders.

       But I did not like my new personality - the guy with the baseball bat.

    I just moved out. The PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE PERSONALITY in action!
