Read all the posts thus far and wow.
So basically I have to acknowledge the x amount of dead or dying children around the globe before giving my 2 cp? Nice.
IMO, the ones who jump straight from story to solutions are the problem-solvers. The issue i'm having with that, in relation to tragedy, is that those who are mourning probably don't give a shit about solutions right now.
I think when most people deal with tragedy, we deal with it through tunnel vision. All we can (and should) focus on are the victims. It's when the blame-game is introduced all hell seems to break loose.
Shame on those who minimize tragedy by immediately seeing an opportunity to push their own agendas i.e. for/against gun control, "children around the world" argument.
Just back the fuck off for a few moments. I'd say 10% of the shit spewing out of your mouths is actually getting through, anyway.
