We just might see action this time. Why do I say this? Bottom line economics at it's core. This is going to hurt financially the entertainment and hospitality industries. So by the appearance of action will lull the masses till the next time.

When it starts to impact those with power/money.... things will change.

Why are the people stupid?

Is there a place where the people are not stupid? What makes the difference, if so?

There is no place where the people aren't stupid. There are a number of places where the people are considerably less stupid than they are in this country.

What makes the people in the UK less stupid. They accepted gun laws that have made the rate of firearms homicides 40 times lower than the rate in this country. What makes the people in the Netherlands less stupid? They supported a healthcare system that has served every person in their country. What makes the people of the EU less stupid? The kids of most, if not all of the member nations therein, are kicking American kid's asses in math and science.

I'd say, considerably less stupid.

What we have is a system of democratized gun carnage. If we really don't want that, it's easy enough to do. All it takes is a new Amendment. If the American people really want this to stop, the American people can stop it. Do Americans really want this carnage to stop? No...they do not.
And, that is the sad truth. Thanks, Ike.

My mother said it best;

"Yes, we should do all of these things because it's only right that we should fight racism and poverty. The only problem with it is that nobody really cares."

A few days ago, I watched a thread wherein "Christian Conservatives" discussed; "What is God trying to tell us through all of these hurricanes?". They blamed gays, Liberals, "moral degradation", one man blamed Africa "Because that's where they come from and it's full of Muslims.".............. They blamed everything BUT the only thing it could be; the global climate.

We used to laugh at these idiots.

The idiots have taken over.

Again, what makes them considerably less stupid? Are there factors we might hope to emulate?
