About Me

My photo
As a teenager, I subscribed to the notion that one should "retire" (read: celebrate life) in his twenties so he could learn from the world less encumbered by material trappings and only then should he settle in to adulthood. The world may be a more compassionate place. This, I believe, is true luxury. I am now in my forties.

Why?

Why are we resorting to the blame game?
Why do the radical philosophies of isis or other hate groups influence people?
Why are people afraid of homosexuals?
Why would anyone want an assault rifle?
Why would anyone need an assault rifle?
Why would someone with good conscience make or sell an assault rifle?
Why can't we study the impacts of gun violence?
Why do men (not women) so often resort to indiscriminate violence?
Why will our collective reaction be nil in terms of addressing gun control?
Why will our collective reaction be ten fold against mostly innocent people in foreign lands?
Why do we give such a shit about guns?
Why can't we recognize the cyclical action of violence?
Just why?
