America has a sickness that spreads to the very core of our culture. It’s a black, insidious disease that threatens the lives of us all. Is there a panacea for what ails a culture of gun violence? Can we scour away an illness that’s blackened our hearts and minds? There is not one cure, there may never be a complete cure, but we need to get to the root of the disease before it spreads further. We can never determine when another mass shooting will strike, but there are things Congress can do to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands. Like any disease, there is a preventative measure that may save lives. With LOUD, ANGRY voices we can demand action!

You provide a compelling motivation to rethink attitudes embraced by our society. The “panacea” is the individual commitment to inner growth. That’s a responsibility each of us owns. The collective does not evolve otherwise. The alternative is to continue as we always have. The outcome of that path is in our face every moment.

The problem is deep! So many cons and pros from people who are victims and are afraid of becoming victims. 😕

Pros and cons are many. It’s a problem society has to take a step back from and decide what is more important living without fear, or living with danger. I realize the issue is much more complicated than this simple choice, but we have to start somewhere. Sorry for the late response. Thank you for the wonderful comment. 🙂
