Something soulless and sociopathic has been turned into political force in this country. It will not be dissolved on a transactional level alone. It will be dissolved by a transformational politics that makes the quality of who we are as powerful as the things we do. 1/2

MW- How do we change gun culture in the US when so many people literally equate guns to their personal freedom and safety? Yes, change gun laws. But how do you change a culture that thinks safety is linked to everyone having unlimited access to fire arms?

It's a healing process, a gradual change that has to begin with childhood. We need to massively front end our resources in the direction of support for childhood development. It will take at least a generation to right this ship but we need to get started.
