i wonder what Americans need more.. a divine intervention to calm the unsettled heads or a lawful restriction on the possession of the arms act. This is in the light of the recent Connecticut killings of school personnel and kidgarten children. Insane isnt it? and an exactly similar incident happened a few days earlier too, in some other state of the united states of India and in both cases the perpetrators were otherwise "regular"blokes. the kind that would probably go for a run in the morning as much are his chances of having a "normal" Monday morning. in effect, 2 different crimes, 2 highly deviant behavior, 1 common personality type. So, this makes me think that maybe, there is a deep sense of detachment in the American society and no, Christmas dinners are not the solution. As the needs of touch & smell are fast dissapearing from the diaspora of social interactions, and Facebook, Twitter & Whatsapp are replacing a friendly pat on the back or the intimacy of the hug of a closed one - i personally, wonder if the brain receives enough of the right stimulus for its normal functioning. in my opinion the problem lies furher down. Crimes are committed not only by Criminals and not all that is criminal is crime. Since for me, the glass is always hal;f full i hope that US lawmakers will take a closer and serious look at the strenght and weaknesses of its social fabric..and i hope that it sets a fine example of that to the rest of the world.
