As
we ponder the tragedy in Connecticut, we hear many talking heads discussing a
need for more gun control while avoiding the real issues. Today,
we are living in a culture of death where God is being removed from many
aspects of our life by the courts or our elected officials on the pretense that
God and those images associated with God are offensive to some people.
Political correctness gone amuck.
Abortion, euthanasia and even infanticide is the desire of some in order
to make us a better society by ridding us of those human beings that could be a
burden to families and the government financially. Hitler tried to produce the perfect race and we know through
history how that turned out. What we
are really saying is life has little value.
We see on TV more advertisement on saving dogs and cats from cruelty,
and forget about the slaughter of human beings through abortion. Remember, more babies die through abortion
every day than by guns or other weapons.
But, that does not seem to shock the public since the Supreme Court said
it was okay. Thou shall not kill has no
meaning and we expect our youths when they see or hear about this type of
death, to accept this as just another way of getting rid of a problem. Isn't that what we are witnessing in all
these shooting over the past few years.
The shooter ridding himself/herself of a problem.
The
shooting in Connecticut was pure evil and although the investigation and
evaluation of the shooter has not been finalized, the preliminary information
already obtained seems to indicate that there were mental health issues that
may have been a contributing factor.
However, we also must look at the violence we see
everyday in the movies, on TV and in video games that can adversely influence
those individuals who may have mental health issues or be predisposed to commit
such heinous acts.
