Here's why:
Doesn't fit the liberal agenda to have a CCW holder stop a crime. Conservatives not wanting scrutiny for various gun rights votes they may have cast. Both sides don't want to be questioned on the hypocrisy of calling attention to the tragedy of a handful of introverted white kids from flyover country who paint their fingernails black and wear trench coats when zillions of black kids are murdering each other every year in America. Under no circumstances can the media address the chemical experimentation on millions of Americans by the big pharmaceutical industry because they're paying print and TV broadcasters millions upon millions of dollars to peddle their new anti-smoking drug that causes violent reactions to horrifying nightmares and sleep aids that cause you to sleep-walk into your car and drive it the wrong way down the freeway. Why, if we talk about why so many young people are on ADHD medication, we might actually have to look at our nation's public schooling.
Therefore, silent agreement on behalf of numerous parties to clam up about it.
Give it another week and we'll all be back to sitcoms and 'Dancing With The Stars' and all the other bread-and-circus pop culture nitwitism that distracts our attention.
I know what you mean about the bread-and-circuses reference. It’s really a shame, because if we as a society just had the strength and will to discuss these issues rationally we could perhaps turn the tide of what is happening in our society. Very sad... At least it is a little different here at FR and through various other forums and such on the net... There are those of us who will follow up, and will keep talking. We may be just a few voices, but it can still make a difference.
