@PolAmKrakow,
Fair enough. The next time your family is either threatened or heaven forbid murdered,
if seemingly random acts of mass violence against large corporations, e.g. Mangione and
Brian Thompson, grow more numerous....more severe, just ask yourself what happens in a
society when an almost unstoppable force threatens to rob the deserving of basic freedoms,
much less human conveniences, strips its citizens of the opportunity to persue their dreams
for a better life.
Once again, we two-legged beings are only slightly higher animals than the four-legged variety.
Mess with us, we'll mess with you and yours. There's only so much a person can take before they
crack.
When you compare the stats on mass murder between roughly the years 1950- 1965, for example,
the number of either mass murders or violent crime (excluding of course Organized Crime, which was
far worse pre-1956 with the Albert Anastasia rub out here in Jersey) was unrecognizably less in contrast
with post 1968 up until the present. What are some of the obvious reasons? In the first place, prior to
Reagan, the US continued to bask in the glow of the New Deal Era, when US citizens felt provided for by their
government and unbridled greed wasn't yet allowed free reign.
