I still believe it starts at the home and how one is raised. Sure, you'll always have that "kid" that is just bad, and hopefully will grow out of it, but for the most part a lot of our social ills can be prevented at home with proper values taught.

A good portion of my family grew up in extreme poverty, but no one turned out to be murderers, they grew up as hard working people because how they were raised.

Sounds good.  So to there is nothing we can do regarding the weapon of choice for the best kill events?  Got a solution we might actually start with or are you content to validate my last post?  Most won't care in a week.  We agree people are crazy.  I'm not OK with that.  I know it's not your concern if your kids are grown.  It is the nations problem.  We are supposed to be better than the examples of other countries with high murder rates.  They aren't the standard I hope for.

whoa--take it easy!

just because i said it starts at the home doesn't mean i don't think there's other things that can't be done--but if one looks at the government to solve their problems they'll be overwhelmingly disappointed, imho.

I am getting frustrated if that isn't obvious.  The problem doesn't appear to be making any attempt to reverse course on its own.   So I guess I am overwhelming disappointed in the  government making no some small attempt at a better path forward.  They prefer to bicker.  It's their one skill they have mastered.

i know--i'm frustrated with our politicians on a mass scale in a lot of different subjects

they solve nothing other then getting all of us deeper into debt

that's one thing they're all good at--accumulating more debt and giving themselves bigger raises with great benefits on the backs of all taxpayers

ugh--i'm going to have a drink--if i smoked cigars i'd smoke a cigar lol
