The Politics of Violence, the Violence of Politics.

by Jim Kopetz

Gun control is all the rage right now. On the left the assault weapon ban is as flaccid as Harry Reid's member, and on the right Ted Nugent and cronies threatening insurrection. These are dire times indeed.

Newtown. Sandy Hook Elementary School. 27 dead. Who do we blame? Where do we point our fingers? Guns? No. Mental health? No. Violence in movies and video games? Of course! That is what is destroying the youth of America! Not the disadvantaged youth scouring the streets for a few shillings. It's Quentin Tarantino and squibs!

You ignorant bastards! How long until you recognize that there is evil in this world? How long until you accept the demon spawn you have created? How long, oh lord how long? Why have you forsaken me and so forth?

Let's face it folks. We are not mature enough to protect our own vices. Shooting high powered assault rifles is a great activity and one that should be observed and guided. Blowing up things is part of American history! Let us not be deprived of such fun! But let us not turn a blind eye to a serious problem in this country. Evil endures. This is the prelude to the end of the world.
