Yup. Gun shows, car trunk sales, no background checks. If they could just pass anti gun law #20,001 that would surely take care of all these problems. Or maybe some repaved b-ball courts with some new nets. Yeah, that’ll work.
Socialists been working diligently, either directly or indirectly dumbing down the public, needless to say always well intentioned or well-meaning and as the old adage goes “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” Not to mention that if you keep a good portion of the public either ignorant or in poverty there is no better way for getting re-elected.
It is unfortunate that either highly educated but political ignorant people or people on the lower rungs of society, always hoping or wishing for something, but never getting it, invariable fall for the crap being served up by socialists.
If people would pay any attention to history they would learn that in the long run socialism never has or ever will work, and as a byproduct it produces a lower, poorly educated class of society which thinks that a gun is the best way to settle whatever comes along.
My feeling is that if anything, things will only get worse if humanity continues on the path it is on. Politicians can be easily changed, but the mindset of people which was decades in the making, keeps on producing and re-electing worthless politicians. It would take a generation or two to change what has gotten us where we are today and it is doubtful that it will. Unfortunately it is not only the US which appears to have problems, but is a problem worldwide and for mankind in general.
Sooner or later things will come to a head as they always do, either triggered by some calamity or it will usher in another war. Then the soul-searching begins anew as to where did we as a society go wrong and once again we ring our hands exclaiming “We could have, we should have and why didn’t we ?
Regarding science and technology we are already living in the future. But as far as solving society’s social problems we are way behind and any form or variety of “isms” certainly will not get us there.
