How long did it take for the gun control folks to weigh in? Minutes?

My take on CK's piece is that it was too soon to reduce Cho to an icon of woe in the world. Obama lumps him in with outsourcing, Feinstein equates Cho with global warming. Doing so reduces this shooting to a mnemonic way too quickly.

It is the easy categorization that is the problem. It avoids the discussion that this should bring up. Gun control is one as is the consequence of not being "judgemental", the girlification of the males at VT, and the apparent liberal talking points of his "manifesto".

PS. to the twit upthread that thinks one conservative comment to four or five liberal ones is DOS.... what a truly insular life you lead.

PPS. Jack, good on you.

Many of the posters here have what could be called a "classic" liberal mindset, in that they will use reason and evidence to determine their positions, arguments, and posts. They are not trying to appeal to a "centrist" position, but are trying to come to what they feel is their best position based on the evidence and reason.

Translation: We are old biddies that like to bash Bush, and anyone else that doesn't agree with us completely. (Picture the SNL "Church Lady" here) Personalities are the primary issue, and hypocrisy rife.

Have you ever considered what it would mean if we made a serious effort to feed all our people, and educate more of them, or to begin the design, development and construction of an infrastructure which would allow human beings and the rest of the earth's species to live in relative harmony?

Perhaps you've noticed that nobody in America starves and education through high school is free. That should make you happy, but for some reason, doesn't.

But I'm wondering what infrastructure would allow the earth's species to live in relative harmony? Are you describing something physical or political? Or magical?

But I can see you waiting in the wings, with accusatory finger at the ready, on guard for something bad to happen. This is a classic example of why liberals can never be happy. Anything less than a perfect world is cause for concern. Since a perfect world is impossible, there will always be something or another to fret over.

I could ask for no greater curse upon the village scolds.

Ah, I see shooter, that you believe that no one in the United States starves, and that education is free. That's what the bumper sticker says, so you believe it.

Do you have something to disprove that belief?

Beyond that, what made you think I was speaking exclusively of the United States? Our people doesn't mean only those who live in Seacaucus. Only you would assume that it does.

Like it or not, the only reason people starve and go uneducated is because of bad government. Zimbabwe is the poster child for taking a functioning society that could feed not only itself, but also countries around it.... until Mugabe crippled it in the name of "land reform". Then there's NK, and Sudan. I presume you are talking about them? Sadly, it is people like you selling a fantasy bill of goods that ruins lives.

Now then back to the "infrastructure" you claimed would make everything hunky-dory. What might that be? Or are you just promising something unattainable to the rubes?
