Not even the Sabbath

It is Sunday and the Media is in full Posture.  They are ambushing kith and kin...even the Govenor got a "Are you SURE that the guns were obtained legally?" "If the Mother bought them for the son, there could be a problem."  Yes, and if the reporter can read the mind of that dead woman, she would get her answer.  Sorry I just want to slap the ---- out of some reporters.  It started with Dan Rathers treatment of VP Bush.

I agree "something needs to change"; is this something legislation can do ?  If so, let's explore the idea.  Will a 20 million dollar committee help?  Let's have 3 of them. This is probably the most complicated society in the world. We still have portions of the country that sees the U.S. Government as an occupying foreign power.  No, you say ?  Ever been to Guam, Porto Rico, Hawaii...talk to an Inuit or almost any other Native American living on a Reservation.  World wide, Believers in Islam often see the U.S. as an extension of the Crusades...The Big Satan. We are at war in the Baltics, Asia Minor, North Africa, and Korea. Not even half of our citizens exercise their right to vote and those won't/can't read the ballott.  They only pull or mark one position....Democrat/Republican.  They never who/what they voted for/against.

In the words of Hank "I promise not to kill any women or children, can I go deer hunting ?  Who will promise to keep the women quiet ?"

The MASS media report on murder at Sandy Hook

I was up all night listening and watching the news feeding frenzy that the Sandy Hook tragedy has spawned.  Morgan on CNN is already calling for new gun laws to stop the killing.  The only way to stop the killing is to put the killers away.  Unfortunately we have not found a way to reliably confine a felon BEFORE they commit the crime.  One way to help holding it down is to STOP glorifying every one that happens.  Can anyone convince the media that the coverage is harmful.  There are those that attack the movies as bad example for kids.  What about the real thing ?  They are already getting the excuses ready.  The killer was sick, heneeded treatment, it was his mother's fault for not seeking help.  Our socity has become so twisted that we cannot tell right from wrong.
