The latest of America's shootings took place in my home state, not far from me. This was a little different, because it was not a random massacre or a hate crime. It was someone pushed to their limit by modern society. It was someone who wanted to keep their house. I don't know the details, but I imagine they had lost a lot before that and just couldn't take any more. The constable didn't deserve to die. He didn't make the decision to take the house. He was doing his job, a very unpleasant job, but under current law a necessary job.
How, in God's name, can a country with so much suffering be even remotely considering electing people who have publicly and proudly stated that they will make it worse?
The wealthy simply have to be made to do more. Ideally much more, but at least more. How can the country have such debt when CEOs are making multi-million dollar salaries? Can't people see the connection?
In the fear and confusion of these times, some people will shoot out the window and some will put trust in scoundrels. Both are misguided and dangerous acts.
