You are very wise about a great many things, my friend, and I have learned a new word (hagiographies). I have fallen into that trap of many distractions. That’s why Huxley’s quote leapt out at me. The MSM is hell-bent on over-doing the reports on this tragedy, with a focus on lurid or nonsensical details; the net effect is to overload the public and to distract us from what is really important. Truth is being buried by this avalanche. Libs are being redirected to attack Constitutional rights, and they can’t even see what they are doing to the detriment of all of us. (I’ll let you have the last word, I enjoy what you say.)

We are watching the systematic effort by a political class, which is blatantly, disgustingly determined to ignore any and all corrupt actions of its political darlings (F&F, Benghazi, to name the 2 most famous) to push for the very actions that history has proven will send innocents to death.

Thank you for the compliment and when regarding words that are not commonly used one of the best things to say is that “esoteric is esoteric”. Yet I am also not very wise. I will number a list of reasons why

1. I took a two year break from college out of the resistance to attend for one semester. That has delayed my development and my progress as a person.
2. If the Facebook profile was real than I possibly should’ve taken advantage of the conversation. A woman by the name of Grace Velasquez thought that I was handsome enough to be interested in a relationship with me. If her story was true, she inherited an oil exportation company which would mean that I would hardly have to work if I ended up even marrying her.
3. I wasn’t wise about the PS2, instead I was phobic of 3D graphics and MMOs
4. I wasn’t wise in my attitudes regarding 9/11 in 2001. I actually became interested in Conservatism when it came to the upcoming Iraq War at the time and I registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush.

Yeah, I mean I know that Stalin helped us in World War II but to ignore his dictatorship, the anti-semitic murders he did during a period of time....there is a place so cruel for thoughts like this to be stored.

Yeah, that is because the Media needs enemies to report on. They need psychologists and other people who may defame those of us who may be like the individual in some way. I guess I am sort of burned out by the whole thing, let’s mourn the children, cut the hysteria and say that what the killer(one killer) did was wrong. This isn’t an epidemic, nor is it a sign of a prevalent disease. Someone went mad and that is it. We cannot generalize based on the actions of a single individual, nor can we condemn guns based on ONE mass shooting.
