MY 2 CENTS ON THE NEWTOWN SHOOTING

I've lived and have travelled many times all over Europe and let me tell ya, their youth is just as violent, if not more, than ours. They fight like monkeys over there at the drop of a hat. My firm belief is that a lot of this stuff has to do with the overall loss and lack of culture and meaning our modern world has brought us in which troubled, abused, often mentally disturbed children grow up in only to become lost, angry, POWERLESS, adolescents who are drowning in an ever worsening void. To me it is clear that it is this emptiness, this powerlessness, this frustration, that under the right (wrong) circumstances, over time, creates such "evil". Throw in violent video games which they often play all alone for hours at a time, perhaps the only time their minds are allowed to drift into a state of creativity, and add ridicule and mockery of others, as well as a stunted state of puberty. Now toss all of this into a twisted world painted almost entirely through agenda driven media. Oh, and let's not forget that in most instances, there is also that lazy, arrogant, irresponsible layer of pharmaceutical drugs corroding their fragile circuitry. Okay, so you've got all of that... I know, why not go ahead and top the whole thing off with a big bright cherry of powerful, high tech, high capacity, easily accessible weaponry? Basically, in my eyes, technology is outpacing our wiring. Where are the great philosophers to help us through this shit? Where's the reason behind all this bullshit we've allowed to become our reality? In our most mundane day there is hardly a movement we make that isn't profitable to someone. And that is my 2 cents.
