How do we springboard all the righteous indignation, sadness and awareness that has quite rightly resulted from the Virginia Tech incident and zap America into action against longstanding horrific events that have been occurring around our globe for years?
Excellent question. I live in Houston and just today a man walked into a building at NASA and took a couple hostages, killed one and then killed himself. Twice in one week, bloody horror and sadness. Then the sicko copycats come out from behind their walls and make bomb threats to universities around the country, like my daugther’s, and we have widespread fear and evacuations, disruptions, etc. When did this type of behavior land on the menu of options?
I think it may require a flux capacator.
my god that is an excellent question. one i have no answer for. i do my small part in my small world, and i pray it’s enough.
I think we are too comfortable to care. I mean, sure, we say we care. But we don’t really care, as in care enough to abandon our comforts and our consumerism to open room for a different way of interacting with the world.
I’m not sure what it would take, short of an empire fall.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Sigh.
