I was thinking about Lenin's quote today, "One man's death is a tragedy, 10,000 deaths is a statistic".
This,obviously, reminds me of Sandy Hook. The state and its media divisions are using the tragedy to further disarm us. Meanwhile, as someone historically literate and immune to nationalism, I consider all the mass murder committed by the U.S. government of civilians.
How many hundreds of thousands native americans? Civilians in the Civil War? A million Philipinos, quarter million jap civilians when they knew the war was already won, a million vietnamese for fun (and 60,000 Americans). Now some studies say a million brown people in Iraq.
Yes. Give this government drones, 10,000 nukes, gun ships, and let infantrymen carry machine guns and grenades. We can trust them. But a Commoner with a semi-auto rifle or pistol with a standard magazine? Heaven Forbid!
What is it about government uniforms that makes most people think that that particular individual can be trusted? When you see a police officer, for all you know he got that job because he wants some petty power. Maybe he beats his wife or kicks his dog when he gets home???
What a weird, wicked, and DUMB world we live in. My God.
