The simple answer is we are sick. The whole human race. No one wants to admit it, and no one wants to deal with it. Every single human being on this earth is sick. Me, you, those gunmen, the president, the less fortunate, and the well off. All of us. The answer may not be easy to see, but the problem is plain as day. It's been under our nose for centuries.
Human beings are suffering daily. We could be so much more if we could work together. Take care of each other like the family we are. Every single soul on this planet wants to be loved, love someone, and have a family at some point. It's in our genes. Society tells us, that unity and helping each other out is wrong. We live in a world where Every man for himself is the motto. We preach individuality and independence. Which is a good thing in some regards but when it comes to the species we are a society. As far as we know we are the greatest species to walk this Earth. We've moved mountains, drained oceans, concurred the skies, and walked on the moon. Yet we seem to hold the latest Apple product in higher regard.
You'd think with all of our instant communication, and all this information just a keyboard away we'd be closer together and smarter. It simply isn't the truth. The further we seem to go, the farther apart we seem to get. I can quite literally open up my webcam and talk face to face in real time with someone on the other side of the planet, and yet I don't even know what my neighbours look like. It's actually kind of disturbing. We grow up, with kids in school and we make some friends, we get jobs we might make a few more. Outside of our select social groups and family we don't speak to people. I try to make an effort to say hello to those I pass in my streets walking the dogs, give them a smile but it doesn't go much further than that.
We live in such fear of each other, and I suppose rightly so. It doesn't have to be this way though. We are so much better, we've just forgotten.

I don't agree. Most of us just want to eke through life. Not make a splash, just get by. Have a family, enjoy the small things. Probably not the most popular view on ATS but one most of us can identify with.

Or, and this is just a guess, there are too many crazy Americans with easy access to guns...
I know, it's so out there and illogical, I must be wrong, it simply HAS TO BE a government conspiracy!

Guns aren't the problem, their own personal issues are... Which started LONG before guns came into the equation... Banning guns isn't addressing THE PROBLEM, IS IT...edit on 16-12-2012 by Shaxuul because: (no reason given)
