“America does not just have a gun crisis; it has a cultural crisis. America will not stop experiencing the effects of gun violence until we’re ready to face the many ways that our culture is riddled with violence.” My op ed in the Washington Post today: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Right wing only response to death levels in the civil war era or else their schooling fails them, and they resort to chanting stupid shit.

[Every time] "...politicians trotting out various forms of I-will-do-this-or-that neither gets to the heart of the matter nor breaks the logjam that has made this horrific and uniquely American problem so intractable...."

MW, No. America has a fatherlessness crisis. Look at our prison population. The driving cause is fatherlessness, not guns. Are you wanting to have the knife violence of the UK? How would you change govt policy to stop encouraging fatherlessness?

You are so naive and blind to the facts. Gun laws will solve nothing. Criminals will find the weapons they need to commit criminal acts. Gun laws only penalize law abiding citizens.

Homicide rate, including from firearms, is near the lowest rate in your lifetime. Please educate yourself on the facts rather than rely on feelings. ~RT: "America does not just have a gun crisis; it has a cultural crisis."

The State Department budget is about the same as Lockheed Martin’s stake in the defense budget.

VERY mentally “dysfunctional,” dear @MarWilliamson, so I offer a *REAL* example of how #NewAge-ers ACTUALLY talk, “Genetically, if it counts for anything, i came from wealth and influence...however, it has naught to do with my present experience.” #smh bloggetry.net/BlogSpot/ —RK

We need your wise take on a deeper level of values of the heart, the awakening of your collective stupor. I am with you 100%. Take the micro .Americans need to hear your message of love instead of fear,loud and clear.
